Rear mirror every ~2-3s sounds right
Left mirror every ~5-10s
Right rarely unless I really need to

I love the rear since you can see both left/right at once, with much better depth perception. It's a bad habit though because the back is often blocked. And most cars have a tiny useless rear window, so if I'm driving a rental or something I have to adjust to using the right mirror more..

I feel this. I was talking to family about this and they looked at me like I was crazy. But Ive driven a small car for the last 15+ years where I have pretty good vision out the back from the rear view mirror.

I have genuine low level anxiety about finding myself in a situation where the rear mirror is useless. But I hear that newer cars with obstructed views are starting to come with virtual rear view mirrors via a rear facing camera, which sounds awesome.
