Lane Use, Turning & Passing

Before changing lanes, the safe sequence is to:

  • A.Change first, then signal
  • B.Signal, check mirrors, and check your blind spot by looking over your shoulder
  • C.Rely only on the rear-view mirror
  • D.Close the gap so no one can enter
Correct answer

B. Signal, check mirrors, and check your blind spot by looking over your shoulder

Why

Signaling tells others your plan, mirrors show traffic behind, and a shoulder check covers the blind spot mirrors miss. Move only when there is a safe gap.
