Yep - Synchronicity is the term. At work I drive a grip truck with big mirrors that stick out, which contributes to the perception that I encounter bicyclists or walkers just as I meet an oncoming car far too often for comfort. Of course we don't all three pass at the exact same location, but anywhere within a certain threshold of closeness will create some anxiety on a two-lane road with wide mirrors.
