The picture marks the blind spots that mirrors do not cover. Which routine is correct for changing lanes?

Correct answer: Signal, check your mirrors, then do a shoulder check.

Answer options

  1. ASignal, check your mirrors, then do a shoulder check Correct
  2. BSignal, check your mirrors, then move over
  3. CSignal, do a shoulder check, then move over

Why

Mirrors leave a blind spot on each side of the car, like the red areas in the picture, so after signaling and checking the mirrors you still need to turn your head and look before moving over.
