Six Steps of a Lane Change
-
Signal: Use turn signals to indicate your intention to change lanes, alerting other drivers of your maneuver.
-
Check your mirrors: Before changing lanes, ensure you have a clear view of surrounding traffic by checking both rearview and side mirrors.
-
Check your blind spot: Perform a visual check over your shoulder to ensure there are no vehicles in your blind spot that may not be visible in the mirrors.
-
Check for other drivers: Assess the positions and speeds of other vehicles on the road to confirm it is safe to proceed with the lane change.
-
Change lanes: Once it is safe to do so, smoothly steer into the new lane without abrupt movements.
-
DO NOT CHANGE LANES IN AN INTERSECTION: It is illegal and dangerous to attempt a lane change while in an intersection; always wait until you are clear of the intersection to change lanes.
