    Do trucks not have the stickers saying ‘if you can’t see my mirror I can’t see you’ on them? I see that all the time.

      I haven’t read the DOT code in a while, so I genuinely don’t recall if they’re mandated, but I recall that all my trucks had them.

      This is of absolutely no use in preventing people from a close merge on the passenger side where the driver definitely cannot see. Often the driver’s first indication that this has occurred is the crunch. I’ve never seen one of these accidents that wasn’t completely avoidable.
