Question: Before changing lanes you should:

Answer options:

  • Just check the mirror ✅ Check mirrors and look over your shoulder for blind spots
  • Signal only
  • Honk the horn

Correct answer: Check mirrors and look over your shoulder for blind spots

Explanation: According to the Alberta Driver's Guide, safely changing lanes requires performing a shoulder check in addition to checking mirrors. Checking mirrors and looking over your shoulder is correct because mirrors alone cannot reveal vehicles traveling in your blind spots. Relying solely on mirrors or signals is dangerous and incorrect, while honking the horn is unnecessary and does not ensure a clear path. This concept is highly relevant for the Class 7 knowledge test and the practical road test, where failing to perform proper shoulder checks to verify blind spots is one of the most common reasons for point deductions and test failure.
