Greetings to RZ5237 van driver, who DID NOT stop for me while I was already on the pedestrian crossing. He saw me, waved, looked away and drove on. True story, happened today
Having clean windows is a good thing, but not enough. Adjusting mirrors equally important. It is crucial to always look what is happening *around* the vehicle
In my experience, lots of drivers suffer of "stiff neck": they don't see walking & cycling people coming from their side
It is agreed that you cannot see everything with the mirrors. But a driver always has the option to turn his head!
Based on my personal observation of drivers creating dangerous situations: not turning the head and having a proper look to check road is clear is very common error
