Answer: B — Continuously

Checking your mirrors continuously while driving is essential for maintaining situational awareness on the road. This practice allows you to be aware of the positions and actions of other vehicles around you, helping you to anticipate possible hazards and make informed driving decisions. By regularly checking your mirrors, you can observe changes in traffic conditions, spot vehicles approaching from behind, and ensure that you maintain a safe distance from others. This proactive approach is crucial for safe driving, as it enables you to respond quickly to changing circumstances, such as a vehicle suddenly merging into your lane or coming to a stop unexpectedly.
