Explanation
When changing lanes, do not rely on your mirrors alone to see other vehicles. Mirrors have limitations in capturing the full view around your vehicle. Look over your shoulder to see if the way is clear before changing lanes. This allows you to check your blind spots and ensures that no vehicles are in a position where they might be missed by the mirrors.
