Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
You drive on a two-lane road, and it is legal and safe to pass the car ahead. Your mirrors show that the left lane is clear. What should you do before you move into the left lane?
A follows B on a two-lane road where the broken center line permits passing when safe. The opposing lane is empty, and the card states that A’s mirrors show it clear.
Correct answer: Signal, then quickly look over your left shoulder to check your blind spot.
Why
Blind spots are areas next to and behind your car that your mirrors do not show. A quick look through the rear side window can show a car or motorcycle that is already next to you. Keep the look short, so that your eyes return to the road ahead quickly.
