It amazes me that I was allowed to pass my test in a micra, then be fully qualified to drive everything up to a LWB van, or a range rover.

I found a right hand mirror on my bike sticking out actually did a lot to give me more space.
Someone I know fitted a big (plastic) spiky looking thing at the end of a handlebar, which served the same purpose.
