When you sit at red lights, do you ever check your mirrors to see if anyone is coming from behind you?

Evidently you haven't had this pleasure. Sure I check my mirrors. When I'm first at the light and there are a dozen stopped behind me the need to keep checking the mirror has passed and I'm likely daydreaming about the ice cold beer waiting at home.
I wasn't the least bit worried about where the damn biker is while I trying to gather my breath back. I'm just saying when you get startled like that, bad things could happen.
