The picture shows the areas your mirrors cover and the blind spots they miss. What should you do before moving into another lane?

Correct answer: Turn on your signal, check the mirrors, then look over your shoulder.

Answer options

  1. ATurn on your signal and check the mirrors, without looking over your shoulder
  2. BTurn on your signal, check the mirrors, then look over your shoulder Correct
  3. CTurn on your signal and look over your shoulder, without checking the mirrors

Why

Your signal warns other drivers, the mirrors show traffic behind and beside you, and a quick look over your shoulder covers the blind spots the mirrors cannot show. Skipping either check can leave a vehicle hidden right next to you.
