^and this is kind of my point. Given a split second to make a decision between a bus pulling out/Boris bike emergency stop combo and slightly alerting course (rather than "pull out" as I know there is a peleton of commuters behind/around me) which way would you choose to look? Damn sure it isn't behind me when I've only increased my arc a tiny bit rather than make a rash manouvre.
But I totally agree with the lady and DHB - and I always look over my shoulder when pulling out, and also at various other times so I know whats going on around me.
