Hi all... My first post!

I was wondering about the side mirrors as low-hanging fruit. Looks like they are!

But I wonder why such hesitation to go all the way and just take em off? --Since eco-drivers already use quite a few special driving techniques, wouldn't head-checking instead of using mirrors be a pretty easy skill to add to the list? At least for testing? It seems like interior fish-eye stick-on adhesive mirrors are easy to find and effective. I've raced HPV bikes and used such mirrors---no prob. Even if they're illegal my hunch is that our local cops anyway wouldn't notice or much care. We already have all the "loud pipes save lives" folks filling the roads around here (now THAT's a violation whose lack of inforcement baffles me!).

PS: I'm looking for a BOOK about ecomodding. Is one coming out? Anyone working on one? I'm an indy book publisher who's game!

Onward!
