Jim-NY: We drive too much alike! I am not advocating it as safe; but usually I am not worried who is behind me either as they are no more than the last ones I passed. "A properly executed controlled move" to one side of the lane or the other is adequate with properly adjusted mirrors to get the complete birds-eye view of what is behind you in order to then complete whatever maneuver you plan on. This is for everyone’s safety as there are idiots out there that think it is either Daytona or Lemans and not just the ones on motorcycles either that will come-up on you in less than a millionth of a heartbeat. The famous quote after it was too late: "I never saw them..." well you actually didn't look! Bill is correct in collecting this data; that however we drive and hopefully within our own individual skill sets we need to use all the tools we have at our disposal for safeties sake because however you do it; if you can’t see what is behind you that is a serious safety issue.
