The picture shows the areas your mirrors cover and the blind spots they miss. Which routine should you follow to change lanes?

Answer options

Why

As the red zones in the picture show, mirrors leave blind spots on both sides of the car, so after signaling and checking the mirrors you still need a quick look over your shoulder. Move over only when the lane is clear.
