Awareness Raising Spoke Cards Campaign Project?

I had an idea for an interesting image to convey blind-spots: Get a lorry somewhere really dark, put a bright light where the driver's head would be, then take a photo from above.

Most of the light would shine out of the front of the cab, but a bit would be reflected by the mirrors and show what areas they reveal.The blind spots would all be shadows, and places that look really tiny in the driver's mirrors would only get a tiny amount of light.

I think basic image with just the light and shadows coming out of the lorry would be really striking, but if anyone wanted more, they could also arrange cyclists and people around the lorry to show who is lit up and who isn't. Could also simulate where the driver is looking by using a spot light.

i.e. something like the attached sketch. The jagged bits are supposed to show where you can be seen if you are tall enough. Left side mirrors based roughly on this. Right side mirrors just made up. Not accurate or anything. Suspect i'm making the mirror traces brighter than they should be.

Is this obvious enough?
