You plan to move into the next lane. Considering the blind spots marked in red in the picture, what should you do?

Answer options

Why

The red zones in the picture are areas no mirror shows, so a mirror check alone can miss a car there, while a head check alone can miss traffic closing in fast from behind. Signal, use the mirrors, and then look over your shoulder before moving over.
