Question: To check your blind spot you should:
Answer options:
- Use mirrors only ✅ Turn your head and glance over your shoulder
- Brake first
- Use the rear-view
Correct answer: Turn your head and glance over your shoulder
Explanation: Turning your head and glancing over your shoulder is correct because blind spots are areas around your vehicle that cannot be seen in your mirrors. To see these areas, you must perform a physical shoulder check. Relying on mirrors alone or just the rear-view mirror is incorrect because they have inherent blind spots that leave adjacent vehicles invisible, while braking first is unnecessary and creates a rear-end collision hazard. The Alberta Driver's Guide mandates a shoulder check before any lane change or turn to ensure the path is clear. On the Class 7 exam, remembering that mirrors do not eliminate blind spots is crucial for passing.
