Stupid Auto-dimming mirror!

I took off briskly at the lights. Was cruising along at just a fraction above the limit for a few seconds. Then I see someone in the rear vision accelerate and proceed to tailgate me. Was about to boot it...then I had a closer look. Couldnt tell what car it was. Then I suddenly *just* made out some red & blues on his roof. I changed lane immediately as I dont stand for annoying cop tailgating-tactics. Was waiting for him to change with me but he didnt.

He pulled up alonside me at the next lights and I gave a friendly wave.

Was lucky...the ridiculously over-sensitive, auto-dimming mirror could have caused me a fat ticket. Cant even tell if a F430 or a paddy wagon is behind me.

Am I right in that the only way to disable it is to cover the sensor on the actual mirror with something opaque?
