It depends on your speed and the closing speed of the car. However, the convexity view of the handlebar mirror places the car significantly further back than the view from the eyeglass mirror. As of rough guestimate if the car appears to be about 20 feet back in the eyeglass mirror, it might look as though it is 60 feet back in the handlebar mirror. If one were preparing for a left turn from the shoulder of the road, it would be very important to give a look over one's shoulder, especially with the handlebar mirror. Good practice with either mirror.
