I've seen that video before and although it is an excellent example of showing what can be hidden in the blind spot ,the blind spot mirror is set wrong for an arctic it should be set further out showing less of the cab this would allow a wider angle to be seen ,if you look closely you can just see the edge of a rider as the camera zooms in ,a wider angle would have allowed the driver to see the riders clearer
