The diagram shows what your mirrors can and cannot see. Which steps make up a safe lane change?

Correct answer: Signal, check the mirrors, then turn your head to check the blind spot.

Answer options

  1. ASignal, check the mirrors, then turn your head to check the blind spot Correct
  2. BSignal, check the mirrors, then move over without turning your head
  3. CSignal, turn your head toward the blind spot, and skip the mirrors

Why

As the diagram shows, mirrors leave blind spots on both sides of the car, so after signaling and checking the mirrors you must also turn your head and look before moving over. Make the move only once that space is clear.
