In a car with rear side windows, how should you check that the path is clear before you change lanes?
Blue car A faces east in the right lane. Silver car B occupies the neighbouring left lane beside A’s rear quarter. Both cars face the same direction.
Correct answer: Check the mirrors and make a quick shoulder check
Why
Check the mirrors and make a quick shoulder check toward the intended path before changing lanes. In the example, B is beside A’s rear quarter, so A must wait. The shoulder check supplements the mirrors; neither signalling nor a clear rear-view mirror establishes a safe gap.
