Explanation
Changing lanes abruptly can lead to accidents or create dangerous situations on the road. Abrupt lane changes don't give other drivers sufficient time to react, increasing the risk of collisions. To change lanes safely, signal your intention to other drivers, check your mirrors for surrounding vehicles, look over your shoulder to check blind spots and make sure there are no vehicles in the lane you want to enter.
