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: Use your turn signal, check the mirrors, then turn your head to check the blind spot.

Answer options

  1. AUse your turn signal, check the mirrors, then turn your head to check the blind spot Correct
  2. BUse your turn signal, turn your head to look, then move over without checking the mirrors
  3. CUse your turn signal, check the mirrors, then move over without turning your head

Why

Mirrors cannot show everything; the red zones beside the car are blind spots that only a quick glance over your shoulder reveals. Signal first, check the mirrors, and then look over your shoulder before you steer into the new lane.
