Has anyone any experience of using a ‘mirror’ that clips on to your existing rear view mirror alongside a camera on the back of your car …currently mulling the idea over ….

These new fangled gizmos make me want to swear but I expect that Mary Whitehouse mod will just beep beep beep beep the cusses out .

My new car has one built in and I can’t get used to it. Still go with the mirrors and one arm over the passenger seat

My dad used to elbow me in the face when I was younger as I always had the middle seat and had a habit of leaning forward.

I've become over reliant on a reversing camera since my last 2 cars came with them, I doubt I'd get another car without one.

I had one on a company van I used to use.
I found it very off putting and couldn't use it, I was taught to drive a long time ago and don't have the need for one.
Much easier to use my own judgement, it hasn't failed yet.

Pretty essential on SUVS I think

Quite amusing to see drivers of the car behind a reversing vehicle getting concerned that the driver of the vehicle reversing is not looking behind him/her.

Having a van that have no rear windows they are god send when parking it tight spots, i swapped the head unit for one with any inbuilt camera screen.
As said above, could not be with it now, become too reliant on it.

A mate of mine bought a new Nissan van with a reversing camera. "What's it like I asked him?" "Absolutely brilliant" he replied "I got a really good look at the 8 metre skip I reversed in to!" They are very good IMHO but no substitue for old fashioned observation and a bit of common sense. He is a w@nker though to be fair!:)
