I never realized how important it is to know whats going on behind you, but it's true, you need to be aware, as much as you can to get that extra bit of time to react if need be, somtimes there is nothing you can do, but glancing in a mirror while stopped to make a turn is a very wise move. While turning into my road, off of a busy and dangerous 2 lane state road, I saw a pair of tractor trailers coming up behind me, same company too. They did not see me, and traffic was coming the opposite way, with just enough time to take a chance, but I felt trapped anyways. Because I saw them and knew they did not see me, I had just enough time, well right when I darted across those trailers were getting close and tires started smoking and the trailers were contorted, not straight anymore, he finally saw me, but it was too late, and the guy behind him would have been the icing on the cake as even if the 1st one could have slowed or stopped the 2nd one would have pushed the 1st one. I missed the road and ended up in the neighbors driveway/lawn, I could have jumped out and ran across, no matter what I was not going to sit in that little ford ranger waiting to be crushed. The state road has been widened, but the state started the taper down before my road, they could have extended it, but at least there is more room and I always look back since, before that, I never gave it a thought, figured I was not in danger.
