    If you hit someone that’s in your blind spot changing lanes is that a preventable or non-preventable ?

    That's why some drivers have a spot mirror on the right front fender and another oblong one that mounts over the passenger window on outside of truck and another one under the right side rearview mirror.

    There really is no such thing as a blind spot when driving. even if it's at night, like you can see their lights if they are square behind you. if daytime you can see their shadow, and had you been looking in your mirrors alot like you are suppost to you'd see them long before they got into that spot.

    That is why you put on your right turn signal 10 miles before your turn. Give's plenty of fore warning.

    I thought that’s when you started easing over, then come back, works great with doubles.
