If you position your mirrors properly then you don't have so-called 'blind spots'. Further, when you are about to change lanes you should look over your shoulder before executing the maneuver.

You can see that in the video. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_blind_spot#Effects_of_A-pillar_angle_on_visibility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_blind_spot#Effects_of_... shows "An accident caused in part by an A-pillar blind spot". The top image on the page shows another example of an A-pillar blind spot. The blind spot you refer to is the rear quarter blind spot. Note the comment that one way to check it is "by turning one's head briefly (risking rear-end collisions)".

If you rear end somebody while looking over your shoulder then you're going too fast and/or are too close to the vehicle in front. You should only be performing such maneuvers when it is safe to do so.
