Well, since a rear view mirror is not a legally required device if you have
two side mirrors, I dont see why it cant be removed because of the safety
factor when you remove the mirror itself.
A driver's ability to clearly see the course is more a safety concern to me,
than a performance one. Properly knowing the course and looking ahead
methodically can work the 'cant see because of mirror' issue.
