Elementary my dear pinstripes. A competent driver would know that as the vehicle starts turning, then the field of view in the mirror also changes, thus the motor cyclist could safetly be pottering along the road as before, but not in your field of view......which incidentally should now be focused forwards looking for oncoming traffic and dilatory pedestrians, as you turn into your driveway entrance.
Of course, we could adopt your strategy of cranning one's neck around and holding that position until safetly parked up in the drive, although I can see some potential problems with that course of action.......
I suspect M'Learned Friend would have a chuckle and agree that as all reasonable steps had been taken, then the fault clearly lies with the biker.
Who, if we are talking Bradford, will most likely not have insuance!

Humans have a field of vision that is ALMOST 180 degrees, get someone to test yours, its actually quite surprising what you can see to the side of you, I already know what both of my eyes are like for field of vision because I have it tested by my doctor every six months, but a simple test such as getting someone to approach from behind and then holding your hand up when you can see then should surprise you.
Further to that, your vision is also alerted more by moving objects, its an animal instinct sort of thing.
So, a moped approaching your car from behind won't be visible to you yet, but if you turn your head even just slightly then your 180 degree field should pick them up easily, especially if they are deviating from a static location in relation to your eye, in other words they are pulling out to overtake and moving across you field of vision.
What we really need is an almost 360 degree field like some birds do.
