Observation and hazard perceptionStandalone practice
Do cameras and blind-spot detectors replace shoulder checks?
Two cars travel in neighbouring lanes; silver B is slightly behind blue A on A’s left.
Correct answer: No, you must still do a shoulder check
Why
Blind-spot detectors and cameras can help, but ICBC says they do not replace shoulder checks or looking behind. Before moving left, A must check the left mirror and look over the left shoulder; B illustrates why a mirror-only or technology-only check can miss a conflict.
