Why should you check your mirrors regularly, including before slowing, stopping or changing direction?
Correct answer: To stay aware of traffic behind and beside you.
Why
Traffic behind and beside you changes even when you drive straight ahead. Use brief, regular mirror checks, especially before slowing, stopping, turning or changing lanes. Mirrors do not show every blind spot, so add the appropriate quick shoulder check before changing your path.
