You say that, but routinely cars/trucks drive RIGHT NEXT to a bike lane with someone riding a bike, then pull right and drive over the cyclist like they couldn't have seen him or her.
Apparently the possibility of vision / line of sight is not the issue. Maybe the willingness, maybe the understanding that yes indeed, there is another lane next to the road, and maybe you should monitor it for traffic, especially before taking a right or left turn.
