Things cyclists should know … POV driver who's incapable of cycling

Your intentions were good, Mrs Earthloop, and you raise some valid points, but this is a tough crowd to impart knowledge to (even at the best of times). You'll find a lot of people here riding their bikes every day to commute and they'll be out again on the weekend just for the sheer enjoyment of it. I'm not saying we know best but I'd say the vast majority of us know what's best for us in terms of staying safe and staying alive. We don't have a death wish.

I know the tinted window thing is a red herring but it's an easy fix if it's a genuine concern (and it sounds like it is in your case). Your case is just one very specific danger/scenario that most of us cyclists have to consider and contend with every day. All vehicles have different blindspots which is why we exercise caution/ride in the primary position/etc.

Blind Spots

[]From about a cars length away at the rear, until you are level with the front side windows, you are invisible to the drivers.
[] Most importantly, when you decide to draft off the left side of me, I don't even know you are there unless I have a passenger that tells me about it.

These are not a blindspots. These are badly set up wing mirrors.
