Not that I'm turning around just to see what's behind me. I'm mainly talking about changing lanes or merging.

Yeah I think we are all talking about the same things in a roundabout way. Yeah, I always do a head-check when changing lanes, but I primarily use my mirrors when just monitoring traffic behind me, and only turn around to either get a clear view of what's behind me (is that a cop? // My friend is still with me, but just a few cars back, right?) or sometimes when getting on a slow onramp and the ramp is too angled for my mirrors to see traffic coming up behind on the highway.
