Jscorse,
I'd agree with the turning the head checking the blindspot thing. I've been as a passenger where the driver decided to look over their shoulder, and look, and look, and look, and look, for 5 or seconds, not aware of what's in front of them, such as cars, trucks, curbs, walls, and the like.
I've got my side mirrors set to check for blind spots ONLY, and use the windshield mounted one for everything else. If there's a car in my mirror, chances are I don't have much room or any room at all to change lanes.
Most have their side mirrors set as to see the back of their car. But to quote a Toronto automotive journalist, when is the last time your trunk hit your car?
I've been setting the mirrors like this for years, and have worked very well, almost never having to look over my shoulders.
