Have towing mirrors become and optional accessory for vehicles towing caravans lately?
It seems every second towing vehicle I follow doesn't have any on and if I cant see the mirrors the driver can't see me. Recently followed a Nissan Patrol fifth wheeler through busy streets of Hobart and couldn't see any of the vehicle unless I was alongside it. Do drivers rely on rear/side cameras when towing these rigs? Couldn't see any technology fixed to rear or sides.

This also applies to older/smaller vans too.Seems that some drivers are getting lazy re safety on road.Not just interstaters either,locals as well.I don't drive a 4WD and realise that some of them have large mirrors with fish-eye type reflections for wide view, but if the mirrors are hidden from behind it can't be a good thing.
It's something I'm seeing more and more.
The first thing I do when hooking up the wagon is put the mirrors on.Jayco Eagle/Ef falcon wagon. Cant see safely without them.
Is it just me , or do others see this happening too?
