The blue car's driver wants to move into the lane on the left. After checking the mirrors, what additional check is needed before moving?
Blue A and silver B travel in adjacent lanes in the same direction. B is near A’s left rear.
Correct answer: Make a quick left shoulder check of the relevant blind spot.
Why
Mirrors do not eliminate every blind spot. Before moving left, make a quick left shoulder check, then keep monitoring the road ahead. If another vehicle occupies the space you need, stay in your lane and wait for a safe opportunity. A signal alone does not make the lane change safe.
