If you drive like this there is no need to use your mirrors. People just get out of the way

If you drive on the wrong side of the road you don't need mirrors everything is coming at you. 😂

I don’t have one, but I disagree. I’ve seen so many people flee the scene of an accident just in my morning commute to work. The number of people who lie about who’s at fault is crazy. I know quite a number of people whose dash cam caught some very important information that told the correct story. I bet you walked uphill both ways, too. Times are a changin!
I don’t live in the paranoid space of alot of members here.
Im only here on this thread because driving on public roads without mirrors is stupid regardless of what state you’re in.

Haven't had a ticket in going on 30 years, and never been at fault in a multi-vehicle crash. My time will come, but until then I'll adopt the holier-than-thou attitude most in this thread seem to already have.

I'm in Ohio where only the rear view mirror is required. I never put side mirrors on my first two Jeeps with doors off. I finally bought some for this one because my wife was driving it doorless once and was freaking out.

I'll typically put them on when I'm doorless for a long stretch now, but not if it's only going to be a day or two.

You can put all the safety equipment you want in a vehicle, but an idiot will still find a way to cause a problem.

One of the first things I taught my son when he was learning to drive was to turn his head to check his blind spots. I stood in the blind spot and told him to check to see if he could see me in the side mirror. Nope. Always turn your head to look before changing lanes.

I check my rear view often enough to know what might be coming up beside me. It's called positional awareness and being responsible.

All I got out of this is your wife is a better driver than you.

And I knew that would be one of your most likely smart ass remarks.
Yeah no patience for the holier than thou types.
Put a mirror on your Jeep before you hurt yourself or others around you.

I'm all for personal freedom except when it becomes a safety issue.(Of others)
If your're on your property or the middle of bum fc nowhere I could care less .
Highway 75 in Dallas doing 110 on the freeway in rush hour traffic with no front sway bars, and turn signals that will blind you even in daylight hours!!

The topic of the thread boils down to safety, in some job titles pissing is THE MAN's 😎way of keeping us safe.
Everything is a tradeoff.

Well there ya go. I've never been described as safe. 🤔

A Karen tries to tell other people how and what to do. Who has been doing that in this thread... Can you do the math?

I've been seeing @Wbino on this forum for a minute. He beefs with A LOT of people on here. More often than not when I see him in a thread, he's acting like a karen.

I'm at the point lately where I'm questioning how much he's actually being a Karen, and how much he's actually being a troll.

My honest opinion, I think if he drove by a car where the engine was on fire and there was a driver trapped inside he would keep driving and not give two shits about that person. But then he'd come on here and shame other people for doing the same.

Hypocrite? Maybe.

Troll? More than likely! ;)
