^This. I don't see how you have a blind spot backing out unless you don't have your mirrors adjusted properly. If you can see your car in your own mirror then you're doing something wrong.

How To: Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots - Feature - Car and Driver

Agreed, except for when you're on the autoban. If you flare them out too much to cover blind spots, you sacrifice being able to see someone speeding like mad at a far distance in the next lane.
But I know what you mean op, just gotta fix the mirrors, use all the mirrors, and turn around (not just look over your shoulder). As if you're backing up an attached trailer on a pickup.

For this matter I always back up slowly and honk my horn a few times as I'm backing up. I look like a total goodie two shoes doing that since I think I'm the only person that honks - but I have yet to run over children.
