Your inside rearview mirror shows traffic behind you. What does a shoulder check add?

  1. It shows traffic far ahead
  2. It shows the speed of the cars behind
  3. It shows the road signs at the side
  4. It shows vehicles in your blind spots
Show answer

Correct answer: It shows vehicles in your blind spots

Mirrors leave blind spots. A shoulder check with both mirrors lets you see all three areas.
