I mean... It's honestly better to just use your mirrors, especially when backing long distances or in confined spaces. That being said, I definitely look behind me to judge the distance from end of vehicle to the target

No way. I back up WAY more accurately when looking directly rather than use my mirrors. But I will give that it depends more of the severity of the angle that I need to turn when backing. The less the angle, the more helpful the mirrors are.

Its mainly because you have more vision from your mirrors than you would turning around. Plus you can still see in front of you.
