This gravel driveway is a couple hundred feet long, curved, hilly, and
unlit. I doubt backing up will be feasible in the long run.

It is better in the long term to remove any obstacles


Agreed. But, that would be a major multiple-thousands-of-dollars
construction project, and the land isn't all mine so it would require
agreement from neighbors and permits.

I think a $25 mirror is simpler - and cheaper (if/when I find it).


Then prepare an area at the end of your driveway near your house
on your land so you can turn vehicles around at the end of the
driveway near the house...

You think that it will be any easier to get permission from the
landowner on the opposite side of the road to attack the mirror,
which could be removed by the landowner or the DOT. at any
time..
