Erm....

How did the driver behind get into a "blind spot" without being seen during the numerous routine mirror checks in the previous minute or so?

But even if they have managed to find a "blind spot" then.......

There are "life saver" checks before committing to any change of position.

My biking background has plenty of "Sorry Mate I didn't See You" incidents so self preservation means an awareness of what's all around. And pulling out in front of another vehicle which then hits you is very painful, possibly life changing and perhaps fatal.
