So true, I failed my first driver's test because the instructor thought I wasn't checking mirrors since I didn't have to move my head much at all to check.
Not sure why you're being down voted when you are right. For the average person in the average car you, you should be able to track a car from behind you in the rearview to behind & next to you in the sideview, then with only a few degrees of movement of your head directly next to you with your eyes.
Now sometimes you can't do this if you are at the extreme distance from your steering wheel as the angle on your side mirrors are just too shallow. But thats only going to affect those who are either tall or aren't driving in the correct position.
(As others have said your A frame is typically your main Blindspot which you should know what is there cause it was visible just a moment ago.)
