I tell you what, I get so used to using my mirror that once I was walking my kids to the park, and before crossing the street I looked up and to the left to see if there was anyone behind us. Took me half a second to remember that we were on foot and I didn't have my helmet with mirror on.
But a mirror is something I had to have. I have a hard time hearing vehicles coming up behind me, so a mirror is a must. Plus it's a lot easier to move my eyes up than turn my head completely around to see if anyone's behind me before making a left turn. Once you get used to using a mirror you'll feel lost without one.
