Adjust your mirrors properly and you won't need them.

From your driving position you shouldn't be able to see the sides of the car.
Lean your head left until it touches the window. Turn the left mirror out until you can barely see the side of the car.
Lean your head right until it's at about the middle of the vehicle. Turn the right mirror out until you can just barely see the side of the car.
Make minor adjustments as necessary.

Now when a vehicle leaves the edge of your rearview mirror, you're picking it up in your side mirror. And when it leaves the side mirror, you can see it with a cursory head check. If there's a car on your back corner, it will be squarely in your side mirror.
