As the picture shows, mirrors do not cover every area around your car. How should you change lanes?

Answer options

Why

Mirrors show the green areas in the picture but not the red blind spots, so a signal and a mirror check are not enough by themselves; you also need a quick head check before you move over. Change lanes only when the gap is clear.
