The red zones in this picture are blind spots that your mirrors do not cover. What routine should you follow to change lanes?

Answer options

Why

Your signal warns others, the mirrors show traffic behind and to the side, and a glance over your shoulder covers the red zones that no mirror reaches. Skip either the mirror check or the shoulder check and a nearby vehicle can stay hidden.
