On the motorway I usually have one hand at 3 o'clock on the steering wheel. I have avoided many near misses form cars pulling into my path ect and always feel fully in control of the car.
And yes I do use my mirrors all the time. I like to know who is where around me.

I was taught that the mirror should be looked upon as
'your third eye' when driving. My advanced instructors would unexpectedly cover the interior mirror with a sheet of paper, and woe betide you if you couldn't tell them what was behind you. Similarly they would require to know what was the last traffic sign that you saw. How many of todays young drivers could comply?
