Correct answer: Signal, check the mirrors, and glance over your shoulder.

Answer options

  1. AOnly signal and check the mirrors
  2. BSignal, check the mirrors, and glance over your shoulder Correct
  3. COnly signal and glance over your shoulder

Why

As the picture shows, the mirrors leave blind spots on both sides of the car, so a quick look over your shoulder is the reliable way to spot a vehicle hiding there. Signal to announce your move, check the mirrors for traffic behind you, and then do the head check before you move over.
