I dont use mirrors. Frankly they can give me a ticket for it since its too much of a hassle to put one on. 3 of my rigs don't have side mirrors and One I have had for 11 years and not one problem, of course they are classics though. Your legally supposed to have a rear view mirror and one side mirror.

By the way what Datsun/Nissan do you own, I seen your screen name and was wondering.
