If a large vehicle with many blind spots is using its signal, consider it a warning and not a request.

You're assuming they're going to use the signal
Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure not to step foot in North America 😁
Honestly, this somehow reminded me of comparing a Yank Tank to the quintessential Polish car. The Maluch.
After seeing this image I've never felt the same, because back then there weren't as much of these death mobiles on the road and this image was what put them into scale for me. Now, I see them regularly on parking lots and hate them. I mention to everyone how I hate them. They must know the dangers of them, because I don't think there is a Polish equivalent to Not Just Bikes. Or maybe I just don't know of one.
The other day I was coming onto the freeway where the entrance lane merges with the right lane, and before I could merge a truck that was travelling in that lane forced me onto the shoulder and almost ran my ass into the retaining wall. Had plenty of time and space to shift left before I got in the lane, and I know for damn sure they were able to see me.
People drive like absolute sociopaths in California.
Blind spot is when I'm standing on the sidewalk and a truck decides to turn over it instead of just turning normally
