The picture shows what your mirrors can cover and the blind spots they miss. What should you do before changing lanes?

Answer options

Why

Signal first to warn other drivers, use your mirrors to check traffic beside and behind you, and then turn your head to look over your shoulder, because the mirrors cannot show the blind spots marked in red. Skipping the head check, or signaling only after you move, can lead to a crash with a vehicle you did not see.
