I think you are misunderstanding what "checking your blind spot" means.
Every car has bindspot(s) - it is the driver's responsibility to check ALL OF THEM - it's called a blindspot for a reason, and the first few lessons on Driver's Education is that you know your vehicle and check your blind spot(s). If there is a place on your car where your blind spot is bigger, you need to adjust mirrors and your driving technique such that you can cover ALL the blindspots. There should NOT be a place beside your car where you cannot check due to being blinded - it's a technique adjustment and possibly a technical gear adjustment (mirrors, adding additional "smaller wide angle spot mirror" glued onto your existing side mirror[1], or even side cameras in newer cars, etc)
You would actually fail a recent driver's ed test if you claim that you can't see the cyclist because he's in your blind spot.
Just expounding that fact identifies that your driving technique needs adjusting. Think about it this way - imagine if that's not a cyclist, but a cop on a motorcyle. The cop will 100% going to write you a ticket for not checking your blind spot properly if you run into the cop.

You really don't... not sure why you got down voted to hell. A lot of work vans don't have them on the back doors. Semis too... Properly sized & aligned side-view mirrors (I like to throw on a convex sticky mirror) can get you seeing everything around you.

Very inexpensive, but I've found these to be useful on a daily basis. Mounted mine right above the blind spot warning indicator on each mirror. No more blind spot.
I hate to break it to you, but when determining liability, pulling out from the park position actually makes you the servient driver that's supposed to yield to the dominant drive (other lady) who has the right of way. https://www.icbcclaiminfo.com/node/9
Whether the lady turned or not doesn't matter much, since she has the right of way and should be able to maintain speed. Regarding the vehicle bouncing, that might be affected by the weight of your vehicle compared to hers.
Some tools that might help increase visibility in the future include blind spot mirrors and a wide angle rearview mirror. Both have been lifesavers for me when driving in New York since they help you see more of what's going on around the car during the maneuver (i.e. when pulling out) and not just before it.

Cruise control makes highway driving a lot easier. Just stay in the right lane, try to figure out the rough speed of traffic, and go a few km/h below that (this usually ends up being a few km/h above the speed limit, but if you want to go the limit that's fine too).
People can go around you, and with cruise your speed will stay consistent so they have nothing to complain about.
Don't obsess over your rear view. It's good to keep an eye on it in city driving, and obviously you need to check it before slowing down or changing lanes, but when you're going at a constant speed the morons behind you are just going to distract you and stress you out. Your attention needs to be on the road ahead of you.
If the left lane is clear for a while behind you, it's good form to move over if you see cars merging, but certainly not obligatory. You should be able to maintain the same speed. If there are cars coming up in the left lane, don't worry about it.
I would highly recommend you buy convex blind spot mirrors if your car doesn't have them. It does NOT eliminate the need to check over your shoulder for cyclists and pedestrians on surface streets, but can effectively eliminate your blind spots for highway driving. My car has really bad blind spots and they make me feel much more comfortable on the highway.
Hey OP. I have heard of these cool new mirrors that have been out for a few decades. Some cars even have them from the factory.
Thanks. From Amazon.

Any car you install this on to has a blind spot mirror.
I have one of these . Or at least something like it. Hasn’t fallen off in over a year and when cars pass me I can see them in the mirror until they’re visible out of my driver window. I.e. no blind spot.
This is how I installed mine. You can see me taking the picture from the blind spot in the round mirror. It is less useful when it's raining and dark out, but works wonders for most situations.

I do recommend sticking it in the inside upper corner. Other positions actually blocks too much of the original mirror... you need the far side of the stock mirror to judge distance of the car next lane.
Blind spot mirror
Got my 87' Camry about 9 months ago and blind spot mirrors are hands down the best safety accessory I've ever purchased for it. I know some people aren't really too into them and you might already have some, but if you don't I highly recommend them. They're inexpensive as hell and save you from having to look over your shoulder when switching lanes, especially since newer Camry's have more blind spots than older models.

the more you drive the less nervous you'll feel. My first year I was a nervous wreck. After a couple years you'll be on autopilot then driving becomes a lot more fun as you learn more and how to take little shortcuts to make driving better.
I suggest whatever you're scared of doing on the road, do as much as you can. I used to be scared taking the highway so I wouldn't. Then I told myself to stop being a bitch and I took it every single day and now I prefer it over normal roads
Good tip. OP these are called convex mirrors and they're pretty helpful!
