do all you nerdz keep your hands at 10 and 2 at all times tooNo way that's crazy neurotic. I do between 9.9 and 10.1 though
Checking your rear view mirror for creatures? Like what, the T-rex from Jurassic Park?
rural will depend because you have people who think its cool to go super fast and theres creatures so its always good to check

The risk of a deer running across the road is very real in a rural areaUh yeah, no shit, now what's the risk of a deer charging your car from behind
I'd be more interested in seeing how many accidents people have gotten into.

I pointedly try NOT to look at my left mirror in spring because for some reason wasps nest in there yearly no matter how often I have them cleared out, and I've got some severe vespaphobia.This wins
The responses to this topic really weirded me out so I paid extra attention during my drive this morning - can confirm I only actively check when preparing to change lanes or when I know I'm going to be braking. Seems like what's in front of you should be of far greater concern in every other scenario. Like, why does what's behind you matter with any regular frequency?
Maybe it's a California thing but at least here if you get hit from behind, it's 99.99% going to be the full responsibility of whoever hit you. By contrast you should be far, far more concerned with not hitting anyone in front of you, because if they slam their brakes in the tenth of a second you're looking behind you for some reason, you're probably looking at a doubled premium.

It's such a weird take to think a quick look at your mirrors is more likely to cause an accident than not checking them at allNot "a quick look", but "a preoccupation with a neverending series of looks every 2-3 seconds regardless of road conditions"
