I'm thinking that the BSM in my CX-5 is doing exactly what it's supposed to do...it warns me because the car in that lane is not a safe distance away for me to move over, even if they are not technically in the Blind Spot Zone. Now, that doesn't mean that I would not pull over anyway, but the CX-5 is usually correct...I would be cutting in front of that car and not leaving them at a safe following distance for that speed.
It's the same as the system that tells me when I'm following too closely.
But "safe" and "customary" (or "reasonable for the environment") are two different things. And while I enjoy the assist, and while I always leave these systems on, there are times I shall opt for "customary."
Caveat: If I still lived in congested "Driving for Darwin" Northern Virginia (and not in the country), my opinion would be completely different and I'd turn the damned annoying things off
