You want to change lanes on a multi-lane road. Which action is part of a safe lane change?

  2. Slow down while you steer into the new lane
  3. Look only in the rear-view mirror
  4. Move over fast, so you spend less time between lanes
Show answer

Correct answer: Look over your shoulder to check the blind spot in the new lane

Mirrors do not show everything. Look over your shoulder in the direction of the change. Then steer into the new lane without slowing down.
