I think well adjusted mirrors would have helped in this case. The new Civics are a god awful car when it comes to vision.
They are not that bad. In fact they are ok if you set up the mirrors up correctly. But there is one blind spot tho, just over the left shoulder. But I do think it is, like that most cars these days anyway.

I think any aid that helps you drive safer is a good thing. As long as you use it as a tool, not as an aid, then I'm sure it is fine. It can't hurt.
