Done though it's not enough as a truck driving biker: i see many people mainly cars though pulling into my blind spots, mainly on roundabouts. Infact last wednesday i straddled both lanes on one because i needed the room to turn left, a bloke in a focus drove on the curb to pass my trailer then come up inside me then moaned using his finger jestering to me to move because he didn't realise a artic would stop him viewing his entry onto the roundabout. I had to wait untill all three lanes of the roundabout were free instead of the left because my trailer would have swipped this re-tard.
I believe all potential driver/riders should do CBT and the same with a truck before being allowed a car or bike licence.
