None of the cyclists along the side of this truck can be seen from the driver’s seat.

If you are a cyclist/biker, knowing this could save your life.

A truck’s blind spots are bigger than you think.

even if he could see you it's pretty bloody obvious you get the fook out the way when you see his indicator for turning left. Rule no.1 for survival - always assume the other oke (driver) is an idiot.

good one, this obviously applies to the scenario where you pull up next to the truck? Also, if the truck passed you, I would assume that the driver would be appear that you will be rolling up?

As a principle, if you can the driver in the mirror - he can see you, so best position yourself accordingly? Probably just best to get to the front of the queue.
