[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1276361, member: 11508"] No. I tried stick-on mirrors like that before I got what I now use. If they were big enough to be able to tell a car from a semi, they blocked too much of the standard mirrors to see what was behind me (the main purpose of rear-view mirrors, after all). This is the best pic I can find of them that I had already loaded into Photobucket. [IMG]https://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj218/PlanetMike/IMG_0634_zps0e9b990b.jpg[/IMG] They are adjustable, too, though they're wide-angle enough that they cover everywhere you'd want to see almost however they're aimed. Only time I need to touch them is if they get bumped and badly knocked out of alignment. If you watch the vid of the ride in Wales that Kaelaria posted, I'm pretty sure you won't spend any time being distracted by the mirror mounted on the windscreen, although the perspective is from a helmet-mounted cam, so the mirror looks lower than it would in real life. Still, I think any fear that it would be in the way or a distraction is unfounded, based on my ease of getting used to it. Still say it would be very nice to have, even if it is--and it [I][B]is[/B][/I]--expensive. [/QUOTE]
