Yeah, those bus-type were a solution for the mirror blind spot. Then came below eyeline mirrors. But how many truckers drive safely with west coast style mirrors, even today? We all know the routine, rock back or forward to see the blind spot. You could say that adds to safety by giving that extra second for a second look.
