Whenever I am in a car I am usually the one driving or in the front passenger seat. The other day when I was riding in the back seat of a friend's car, he made mention of some idiot driver behind him. My first inclination was to look in the side view mirror which was non-existant. At that moment I thought about how convienient it would be to be able to see behind the car from the back seat without having to turn around. The solution would be a second set of side view mirrors on the car so that the rear seat passengers can share the same vantage point of the driver.

And let backseat drivers have more of a say?

The addition of secondary side mirrors would make for two more, (albeit small) blind spots for the driver.

The mirrors would probably have to mount 6 to 10 inches higher to keep them out of the view of the main side view mirrors.

I think a better idea would be a secondary rear-view mirror, maybe offset a little so it doesn't block the driver's view. I use my rear-view a lot more than my side-views, personally.
