I hope not. I am a little paranoid of cars. My first day on the Calfee someone lady pulled up next to me looked at me and then made a sharp right turn in front me. I almost the side of her car. So I have become nervous about cars behind me.
The Bike Peddler mirror has made me a lot more confident.

I commute pretty regularly now, and cars turning right and cutting me off in front of me drive me nuts.
But when it comes to cars behind you, you might want to consider THIS REAR LIGHT
Have a look. Enlarge the photos. I got one and I really feel it has changed drivers behavior. Overall I get passed with much wider room. I've had my front lights go out on me and behind me was all I needed to keep the cars off. My presence on the road at night is much much bigger because of it.
But this light is EXTREMELY VISIBLE in daylight as well.
Having this much presence and the bright forceful beam I believe cars respond to that first before they adjust their driving to you, giving you a wider area.
