Sounds like a need of confidence to me.

Think a lot of dependance has come about from my having to take Transit home over past nine years . On normar junctions -visibility is OK -,but take a "Y" junction - and you depend on the passenger judgement -you cannot see anything to the left - to car drivers - try driving with your rear ppassenger window blocked off , and depending on the info from your passenger .You even learn to aproach such junctions so that you can see both ways .( and a lot of car drivers cannot fathom out WHY)
Oh I quite understand - drove a 3 ton lorry through London on a Sat pm and all over the London / Essex areas when we moved. (Our campervan has some restricted views of course.) Also hired vans for shows or the trailers & horseboxes too, which have their own specific driving peculiarities.
Observing fully is resolved through consideration and experience. However some people might need to be shown what the problems are and how to resolve them. Getting that view by getting 'square' (right angles) onto the road junction is often the best vision position.
