Changing lanes safely
A safe lane change relies on good observation and clear signalling. The G1 test expects you to know the correct order of checks.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Check your mirrors, then signal, then check your blind spot before moving.
- ◆ Your mirrors do not show the blind spot -- turn your head to check.
- ◆ Change only one lane at a time and leave a safe gap.
- ◆ Do not change lanes in an intersection or where a solid line forbids it.
- ◆ Cancel your signal once the lane change is complete.
