Based on the mirror views and blind spots shown, what should you do before you change lanes?

Answer options

Why

Mirrors cannot show the red zones beside and just behind the car, so a quick look over the shoulder is the only way to spot a vehicle hidden there. Signaling warns other drivers, the mirrors show traffic behind you, and the shoulder check covers the blind spot, so all three steps are needed.
