Observation and hazard perceptionStandalone practice
When does ICBC tell you to make a shoulder check?
Blue A travels in the right lane with silver B slightly behind in the lane to its left.
Correct answer: Before changing direction or road position
Why
Check mirrors and look over the shoulder on the side you intend to move toward before pulling out, pulling over, changing lanes or turning. In the example, A must check left for B before any move toward the left lane; signalling alone does not make that space clear.
