Which I do. But in high traffic areas, taking your eyes off the road in front of you is also dangerous. And it's not just for cars, oblivious pedestrians walk right out in front of you all the time. If I'm on a street with no bike lane, I need to look behind me before changing lanes. That extra time with no forward visibility increases my risk to myself and others.
