In the SRI yeah but only on major roads most of the time unless it's muppets doing 20 in a 30 etc...try not to do it in small side roads or, through villages or past schools...On the R6 it's compulsory though

No I sit where the cars can see me in their right mirror. Then again even if I was in your blind spot . You are supposed to check this before any manoeuver. Beside I wouldn't be behind you for long

Haha you need to take your test again my friend. Your blind spot is in your mirrors. You can still see if you turn your head. People shouldn't brake on bends  , besides I don't overtake cars on bends that is silly and will result in a nasty accident. Honestly some car drivers should appreciate what it's like to ride a bike. It really does make you a more aware driver. Most drivers are great and will move over for a bike. Some try to block when trying to filter. Even at the traffic lights lol.

The biker's round here are all much more dangerous than the car drivers, one of them nearly crashed straight into the bloody side of me on a roundabout because he was going so damn quickly.

That's a good point broster but if your doing an emergency stop and the biker is too far up your ass then it's his fault anyway. In an emergency you couldn't be blamed for swerving etc... but you should still be able to see a bike in your blind spot after a glance. Accept in maybe tansit vans etc...where there is no back windows and limited mirror vission. I think everyone should get out on a scooter and see how scarey it is to be on two wheels and apprecite how vunerable it can be. Also to see the general poor driving of the people in your area.

I hate the blind spot on a corsa, i can check my rear view mirror, my wing mirrors turn my head to look over my shoulder and a complete car /motor bike can be conceled in my blind spot, can be scary some times
