Explanation
When merging onto a freeway from an entrance ramp, use both your mirrors and physically turn your head to look over your shoulder. This method ensures a thorough evaluation of the traffic conditions in your immediate surroundings. The mirrors provide insight into vehicles approaching from behind, while turning your head allows for a broader view, including potential blind spots.
