My recommendation is to utilize one's neck. Might be tricky for parallel parking for some, but you can get used to it.

I don't know why mirrors are even a law; I've never needed them. I do use them constantly for situational awareness, but as far as avoiding an accident while lane changing, they aren't necessary.
