Explanation
When changing lanes, you must signal, check your blind spots, and ensure the lane you want to enter is clear of traffic. These steps are essential for a safe and smooth lane change.
You should never change lanes without making sure the lane is clear. Common mistakes to avoid include:
- Failing to use your turn signal
- Not checking mirrors or blind spots
- Changing lanes in an intersection
- Moving abruptly or without enough space between vehicles
- Overlooking other drivers who may also be switching lanes
Always change lanes carefully and only when it's safe.
