Given the mirror views and blind spots shown in the picture, what should you do to change lanes safely?

Correct answer: Signal, check your mirrors, and glance over your shoulder.

Answer options

  1. ASignal, glance over your shoulder, and skip the mirrors
  2. BSignal, check your mirrors, and skip the shoulder glance
  3. CSignal, check your mirrors, and glance over your shoulder Correct

Why

Signaling warns other drivers, the mirrors show traffic behind and beside you, and a quick look over your shoulder covers the blind spot the mirrors cannot see. Skipping either check can hide a vehicle in the lane you want.
