Correct. I drive a truck and never swivel my head, I use my mirrors.
My older brother was complaining about it getting hard to turn his
head when backing up... I said why would you turn your head, your
mirrors broke? He said he don't trust his mirrors. I said other
than running over a vampire, mine work fine... I also wore a helmet
when I rode a murdercycle, never had a problem swiveling my head,
just a problem with hot, and with Big Brother mandating it.


I don't constantly swivle my head either - that's what my mirrors are for.
But - I do turn to lookinto my blind spots that my mirrors do not reflect,
and any driver would admit that the mirrors are not a 100% indicator of
what's around you, I also turn my head to look at intersections. Age is
taking its toll - the damned head don't turn like it used to...


Turning my head hasn't worked so well for over 40 years after getting
c3/c4/c5 fused. I put those little bubble stick on mirrors on the
outside corner of the regular mirrors. You can see anything right up to
the point where your peripheral vision kicks in.

Wouldn't be without them, especially when towing the 5th wheel.
