    those large american vehicles

    Don’t they have outside mirrors? I use those to check for bikes before making turns… 🙄 Like I was taught in driving school.

      I was taught to do that AND check your blind spot, because the mirror doesn’t catch everything.

        Yeah exactly, that’s what I do too. First outside mirrors for far away riders, then blind spot for immediate vicinity just before turning, while keeping in mind what I saw in the mirror.
