Explanation
When changing lanes, always check blind spots by looking over your shoulder in the direction you plan to move. This ensures that there are no vehicles or obstacles in the adjacent lane that may not be visible in the mirrors. Checking the blind spot before changing lanes enhances safety by reducing the risk of collisions with vehicles in adjacent lanes.
