Yes, yes, and - given the relative speeds involved - no.
A 3m blindspot around a vehicle is irrelevant when it's travelling at nearly 40mph. By that point any collision is completely unavoidable. Even at 20mph 3m is only ~1/3 of a second. If a someone or something hasn't been detected before then, it's still probably too late to do anything about it.
