Practice question

How do you check your blind spots when preparing to change lanes?

  1. Turn your head to make sure the areas are clear
  2. Check your side mirrors only
  3. Use your rear-view mirror only
  4. Check your dashboard indicators

Answer: A — Turn your head to make sure the areas are clear

When preparing to change lanes, it is important to physically turn your head to check your blind spots in addition to using your mirrors. Checking your side mirrors and rear-view mirror alone may not provide a full view of your surroundings. Additionally, relying on dashboard indicators may not accurately reflect the presence of other vehicles or objects in your blind spots. Therefore, the best way to ensure safety when changing lanes is to turn your head and physically check your blind spots.
