The best method of checking blind spots when changing lanes is to first learn where such blind spots are, and then to turn ones head, and look.
Motorcyclist in the UK are taught to look over their shoulder and make a "Lifesaver look" in the direction they intend to turn/change-lane.
Failure to look would result in a failed examination when attempting to qualify-for a motorcycle-driving licence.

How often should you check your mirrors?
You should check your mirrors every 8-10 seconds and when entering a road way, changing lanes etc. You should also have your mirrors adjusted properly so you do not have to look over your shoulder to check them. There is no blind spot on a car. Move your mirror out, you'll see more stuff. There is info online about how to adjust your mirror so you don't have a blind spot. Once you do that, scan them often. What is the point of a mirror if you don't use it? edit: The guy that originally posted this is not correct. You should indeed check your mirrors every 8-10 seconds to see everything happening around you but there is no way to adjust the mirrors to eliminate the blind spot. You need special mirrors to eliminate the blind spot.

Having driven for 55 years without accident, I can say that it is possible and does happen that a whole vehicle is occasionally in a blind spot.
