The picture shows what your mirrors can and cannot see. What should you do before moving into another lane?

Answer options

Why

As the red areas in the picture show, each side of the car has a blind spot that the mirrors miss, and only a quick glance over your shoulder covers it. Signal, use the mirrors, check that blind spot, and move over only when the lane is clear.
