Explanation
The proper way to change lanes is to signal, check your mirrors, and look over your shoulder before you change lanes because this process ensures you are aware of both the traffic around you and any potential hazards in the lane you intend to move into. Signaling alerts other drivers of your intention, while checking your mirrors and looking over your shoulder helps confirm that the lane is clear and safe for you to enter.
