I found your Achilles Heal - You are assuming that all managers don't have a clue what you do. This is laughable. I love the reference "you managers". Again you have it all figured out.
You don't have to stick your head out the door. You are not following the methods if you do that. Keep your eyes moving - move them every 3-5 seconds.
As you are moving to the driver's side you are creating a turn radius. You can look out the door (without sticking your head out) and get a field of vision that has a large pie shape area. Then if you are following the methods, you are moving your head to the left mirror on to the windshield, up to the camera and over to the right mirror with a continuous flow until the process is complete.
If you stick your head out the window or stagnate your vision by only using one mirror etc. The risk of having an accident is increased and magnified.
Once again your missing my point.
Where's the blind side?
I'm doing what your preaching.
I'm using all these aids you speak of.
All backs are blind without them.
Sticking my head over my shoulder and out the door is the only possible "advantage" in a drivers side back and I claim that to be a disadvantage as well as unsafe.
I'm asking you to consider what I consider to be managements "Achilles Heal". That all of The Methods are full proof and absolute.
Don't get me wrong, I long ago accepted my role as a subordinate.
Therefore I will work as directed, especially when called on the carpet for my own interpretations or actions.
At UPS my interpretations, as I stated before, won't buy me a cup of coffee.
Here on this site, their worth is determined by the reader.
I value your input and apologize if I lumped you in with the "you managers" crowd.
Haven't met many that exhibit the ability to demonstrate original thought.
You still haven't shown me were the blind spot is in a "blind side back" now that there is a rear view monitor.
I acknowledge there are differences in visual perspectives, but a good and experienced driver can process these differences.
Without a true blind spot there is no blind side back.
