Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
What observation is essential before changing lanes on a multi-lane road?
Blue car A travels in the right lane; silver car B is beside its rear quarter in the neighbouring left lane.
Correct answer: Check the mirrors and do a shoulder check before moving.
Why
Check your mirrors and look over your shoulder toward the intended lane to see the blind spot. Signal and check again before moving gradually into a clear space. Also watch traffic in the next lane beyond it. In the illustration, the silver car occupies the neighbouring lane, so the blue car must wait.
