When changing lanes, you should not:

Check to see if other drivers are moving into the same lane.
Check your side and rear view mirrors.
Rely on the inside rearview mirror to check for blind spots.
Signal your intentions early.
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.
