My 106 was £1700 my first year of driving, prices will eventually drop providing you keep yourself out of trouble.
Going back to the OP though, I do find myself using my mirrors more often in the car (left hand mostly) than I used to before I got my motorcycle license. I was never bad and only once had a slight bottom clenching moment when I was joining the M32 for the first time in my 306 and there happened to be a car sat in my blind spot... that car was a nightmare for its damn blind-spot...
Thinking about it, I actually check my mirrors and do a shoulder check in the car now whenever I'm joining the motorway / dual carriageway from a slip-road and quite often when I'm changing lanes as well... this is likely an influence from doing life-savers on the bike
