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: The Official MTO Driver's Handbook requires drivers to check their mirrors and look over their shoulder to clear their blind spots before changing lanes. This ensures no vehicles are hidden in areas mirrors cannot show. Simply checking mirrors or signaling alone is insufficient and dangerous because blind spots remain unmonitored, while honking the horn is unnecessary for standard maneuvers. Under Ontario defensive driving rules, safe lane-changing relies on the mirror-signal-shoulder-check sequence. On the G1 written exam and subsequent road tests, mastering this sequence is crucial, as failing to check physical blind spots is a frequent cause of collisions and test point deductions.
