blind spot visualization

saw this, figured I would share.

All bikes in the picture are said to be not visible to the driver in anyway.

Interesting picture. When I pass a truck I go wide and pass as fast as possiible because they don't change lanes very quickly. Zoom I'm gone!
The bike in front represents a Harley rider on the interstate driving at 55 MPH in the left lane.

if you can't see THEM in their mirrors, they can't see YOU in their mirrors..

Here's another side view of a similar lay out:

I go with the sticker on the back of their trucks, if I can't see the driver in the mirror, driver can't see me!

Usually I try to work with other drivers on the road, we are all out there to get to wherever we are going. But trucks? Sorry, anything that has a single tire bigger than me, wins. Period, end of story, not even going there. I stay out of their way at all costs. They can't see me, and those tires are deadly.

The one right in front worries me most. That's why you stay in gear at stop lights!! Ugh...but it's so tempting to kick into neutral
