The picture shows what a driver's mirrors cover and where the blind spots are. Which sequence makes a lane change safe?

Answer options

Why

In the picture, the mirrors cover only the green areas, and a red blind spot remains on each side of the car. The signal warns other drivers, the mirrors show traffic behind you, and only a quick look over your shoulder reveals a vehicle hidden in a blind spot, so skipping any step is unsafe.
