Before moving into another lane, what sequence of actions should you follow?

Correct answer: Signal, use your mirrors, and do a head check over your shoulder.

Answer options

  1. ASignal and use your mirrors; a head check is not needed
  2. BSignal and do a head check; the mirrors are not needed
  3. CSignal, use your mirrors, and do a head check over your shoulder Correct

Why

Signaling tells others what you intend, the mirrors show traffic behind and beside you, and a quick look over your shoulder covers the blind spots that mirrors cannot show. Skipping the mirror check or the head check can leave a vehicle right beside you unseen.
