Hi,

I was wondering why I use my right mirror
primarily as my rearview on my bike.

Then I thought today while driving my car
that being in America, my rearview mirror
is to the right.

So I was wondering if you live in UK or Europe
where your steering wheel is on the right (I'm presuming)
maybe I'm wrong.
If your rearview was on the left,
maybe you use your left mirror on
your bike as your primary rearview.

American right sided mirror


UK/European left sided mirror

In the UK we drive/ride on the left,so yeah steering wheels are on the right.,and we use our right hand mirror as rear view,on the bikes we use our left hand mirror when turning left to be sure that some idiot isn't undertaking and about to wipe us out.some guys never bother with mirrors and do head checks,others don't bother period. I saw a learner rider on a moped the other day with a cellphone on his lap texting, as he was coming up to a left hand bend.MIRRORS, WHAT MIRRORS?

I know you asked the UK, left side drivers but...

I don't fall into the "american" driver side of the equation here. I hardly use the mirror in the car... I always head check - no matter what I'm driving or riding... The only time I use mirrors is when I'm driving the panel truck and only have the passenger outside mirror to use.
When I'm riding the mc, I use the left mirror predominately but always head check before making any line/lane changes. On the old bikes, the law required only a left mirror so maybe I'm just used to that mentality.
The car I drive has a huge blind spot with the mirrors so they are basically useless.
