I couldn't see a car in my blind spot while changing lanes, and when they honked me I immediately checked myself and went back to my original lane, because I didn't want to get in an accident. Honking does work.
Gotcha...different strokes I guess. I'd likely spend my time trying to avoid the accident by maneuvering the bike rather than trying to find the trigger on the Air Zound.
btw, wear a head mounted mirror and you won't have any blind spots. Just an idea.
