Lane Use, Turning & Passing

When changing lanes, the correct sequence is:

  • A.Move first, then signal
  • B.Signal, check mirrors, check your blind spot over your shoulder, then move when clear
  • C.Check only the rearview mirror
  • D.Honk and move immediately
Correct answer

B. Signal, check mirrors, check your blind spot over your shoulder, then move when clear

Why

Mirrors leave a blind spot that only a shoulder check covers. Signal first so others can anticipate you, and move only into a verified gap.
