When you are driving, turning your head and looking before changing lanes is:

A good driving habit.
A bad driving habit.
Prohibited.
Unnecessary, you should use your rearview mirror instead.
Explanation

When driving, it is important to be aware of the surrounding traffic to avoid accidents. Turning your head and looking before changing lanes is a good driving habit because it allows you to see any vehicles or obstacles that may be in your blind spot and prevent a collision. Using your mirrors alone is not enough as they do not always give you a complete view of your surroundings. It is also important to use turn signals to let other drivers know your intentions and to give them time to react accordingly.
