I'm NOT a rear view mirror fan. I ride 20+ miles every other day and the most dangerous riders are almost always rear view mirror riders.
I have a bell on my bike that I ring when passing slower riders. Most rear view mirrors are on the left side of the bike or helmet. When you move your eyes off the road and look in the mirror, natural reaction moves the bike to the left. You always go in the direction your eyes are pointed. If you look left, you go left.
My advice, skip the mirror and worry about whats in front of you, not behind you.
I've road a 1000 miles on the multi modal paths here, it's wonderful. Don't worry, you'll be fine....
