nice that they turned the front of the truck, so the mirror is pointing straight at the truck.

Yeah, they're demonstrating the blind spot for when the driver is making a turn.

And he didn't look back before the turn, because of?

Some people don't bother actually checking their blind spots. It's unfortunate, but people are actually that lazy.

Then it's not the trucks fault, it's the humans and the post blamed the truck, not the lazy / dumb human.

This is because the truck driver meant to turn left.

If you can see your own vehicle in your side mirrors, you're doing it wrong. So many people do not understand this.

I thought that if you were towing a trailer you had to see it, so you can see if anything goes wrong.

No. You use your rear view mirrors on your driving side to see cars behind and beside you (You can still see your truck), and the one on the passenger side to view cars behind and beside you (You should still be able to see the truck as well.) Whoever made this needs to fix there mirrors.

But you can still have cars that could pull in the carpool lane (Most right lane) that you can't see if you have you mirror adjusted on the trailer. Also, if you have to ride through towns, you need to be able to see parked cars beside you as well.

Yeah, you're so right OP. The mirror isn't even angled at the road, it's angled more at the truck than the road, which is why you wouldn't see anything *******

Technically cyclists are meant to use the bike lane that's on the side of the road, not the side-walk (at least in the US).

I have no problem with cycle lanes, not very many in Scotland so most of them use the road, not even the very edge of the road they all come about a quarter way out.

To be fair to the 'lorry driver' if i was on a bike i would not be there, you can clearly see that, that lory is going to turn left and you know due to the size of the vehicle they may not be able to see you.

when i use to ride my bike (before i could drive) i hated lorries and busses and generaly anything bigger than a van. i was just scared of getting hit, id adviod them as much as i could.

thats why you have 2 mirrors on the left side, one to put on the trucks wheels to be able to check them and a smaller one on top of the first one to be able to check the road

The mirrors are not adjusted incorrect, the reason why the bikers can't be seen is because the truck has turned a bit focusing the mirrors on the side of the truck.

On a second note it should be said that the mirros isn't made to see what's beside you, but what's behind you.

No ****, Sherlock, the above comment was a joke, but apparently fj doesn't get no jokes. Another thing, Where will you get a truck to stop in that situation, without the driver seeing the people trough the front window. I mean, who takes a turn that way? It's like it ******* drifted into position

Since when making a joke is a fatal mistake and since when do bikers ride on the sidewalks by bunches that big?

The whole idea of the wing mirror is so that you CAN see that spot. You don't adjust it so that you can look at the side of your own vehicle just for ***** and giggles.

The mirror needs adjusting.

Also, the lorry is pivoting now but the driver should have seen the bikes before he started turning, he should have looked even before his left indicator went on.

I have the steering wheel on the left side (Romania), and drive on the right side of the road. It all depends on where the center of the road is according to the direction you are going.

I learned to drive like this and I've been driving for about 4 years like this, so for me your steering wheel is on the wrong side.

As long as you adjust the mirrors correctly. you shouldn't have a problem.

The mirror looks like it was adjusted JUST so it would not see the guys on the bike, if it were adjusted properly, it would be fine

I think that's the point of the whole "test" thingy.
To tell drivers they SHOULD adjust their mirrors properly and to warn others the dangers of not having properly adjusted mirrors.
