I have found that setting the mirrors to their extreme outside limits helps a lot. If no one is in the passenger seat, I can even see out of the small back window if the passenger seat is all the way reclined. That helps a lot.
There is a blind spot, but if your mirrors are set correctly, it isn't too bad. If I think there may be someone in my blind spot, I speed up and double check.
Usually it is more of a problem of me being in the blind spot of someones SUV. Being higher/taller than me, an SUV sometimes can't see me even if I am out of what would normallly be considered their "blind" area.
