Look at the blind spots marked in the picture. Which sequence is the right way to move into another lane?

Correct answer: Use your turn signal, look in your mirrors, and glance back at your blind spot.

Answer options

  1. AUse your turn signal and glance back at the blind spot; the mirrors are not needed
  2. BUse your turn signal, look in your mirrors, and glance back at your blind spot Correct
  3. CUse your turn signal and look in your mirrors; no glance back is needed

Why

Your signal announces the move, and your mirrors cover the area behind and to the sides. Because the marked blind spots fall outside the mirrors' view, a brief look over your shoulder is the final check before you change lanes, and skipping the mirrors leaves traffic approaching from behind unchecked.
