    Yes
    staring at your mirrors to long is just like magnet pulling you towards the lane you see in the mirror.
    You have to be extra careful when you have a four wheeler on your right side hanging out in and around your blind spot and your trying to keep track of him in your mirror because you will be pulled towards his lane.

    This isnt much for advice but i noticed ever since ive been assigned a long hood 379 they are a lot easier to drive because you can use the hood as a guide to keep her centered. I feel like those sloped hoods that you cant see make it too easy to drift and wander
