Look over your shoulder
Look over your shoulder
The best method of checking blind spots when changing lanes is to first learn where such blind spots are, and then to turn ones head, and look. Motorcyclist in the UK are taught to look over their shoulder and make a "Lifesaver look" in the direction they intend to turn/change-lane. Failure to look would result in a failed examination when attempting to qualify-for a motorcycle-driving licence.
Blind spots are areas that cannot be seen in the side and rearview mirrors of a vehicle. They are typically located slightly behind and to the side of the driver and can only be seen by physically turning your head to check over your shoulder. It's important to check these blind spots before changing lanes or making a turn to ensure there are no vehicles present.
Take a Look Over Your Shoulder was created on 1997-03-25.
You can check your blind spot by quickly looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. This allows you to see any vehicles that may not be visible in your side or rearview mirrors. Additionally, using blind spot monitoring systems in some modern vehicles can also help alert you to vehicles in your blind spot.
When changing lanes, after shoulder-checking and signalling, look far ahead up the lane you plan to enter and then make your lane change as straight as possible. Over-steering puts a lot of people in the ditch, or 6 feet under.....especially if you have WINTER road conditions. Swerving might feel like fun at first, but you are putting yourself and others in danger when doing this at higher speeds and under poor road/weather conditions.
