I guess in the case of lorries, the blind spot is often huge. Bad design it may be, but again it's unwise to fight bad design with your bike.
I get what you're saying - the cyclist should have priority. In practice, as you've pointed out, they don't due to the joy of might-is-right.
It sucks. I've had some really shitty moments in the past week alone due to drivers being utterly horrific people. We need driverless cars and we need them yesterday.
