RVM's are essential because I don't want to have a pic of a truck kissing my buttocks in the newspaper next day.
Example ; You can't hear volvo rear engined buses until they go PAST you so many times i see this huge thing becoming bigger and then goes whoosh past me by inches! The air drag from the bus will tend to upset the bike and the speeds these volvos do is crazy !
I can cite numerous examples where your hearing or sixth sense wont be worth a pence. RVM's are there for a reason. People who added them to cars didn't have a thing for reflecting light off planes for joy.
Honestly some of the arguments here are as good as I've heard from people in Ahmedbad who say that helmet is bad for health as it puts stress on the spinal cord and causes headache. RIGHT !


. RVMs for them,is to look at their great beautiful selves.These narcissists will never change,and will be a perennial threat to others on the road..Like I said before ,if the RVMs of a biker are inclined inwards, I avoid overtaking him or use the horn a bit more

) of not turning my head towards the chicks walking sideways as a sign of some attitude
and then check them out in my RVMs
