Explanation
Blind spots are areas alongside your vehicle that are not visible in your rearview or side mirrors. To check your blind spots, you must perform a "shoulder check"-briefly turn your head and look over your shoulder to make sure there are no vehicles, motorcycles, or bicycles in those areas. Never rely solely on your mirrors. Always check your blind spots before changing lanes, merging, or pulling over to the curb.
