This diagram shows what the mirrors can and cannot see. Which steps should come before moving into another lane?
Correct answer: Use the turn signal, check the mirrors, and do a shoulder check.
Answer options
AUse the turn signal, check the mirrors, and do a shoulder check Correct
BUse the turn signal and check the mirrors, but skip the shoulder check
CUse the turn signal and do a shoulder check, but skip the mirrors
Why
The red areas in the diagram are blind spots that neither the side mirrors nor the rearview mirror can show, so turning your head is the only way to check them. A safe lane change combines all three habits: signaling, checking the mirrors, and looking over your shoulder before you steer into the new lane.
