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: To safely check your blind spots, you must turn your head and glance over your shoulder because vehicle mirrors have inherent limitations and cannot capture vehicles traveling immediately beside you. Relying on mirrors only or the rear-view mirror leaves these critical areas unseen, while braking first is unnecessary and can cause a rear-end collision. According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, a physical shoulder check in the direction of the intended lane change or turn is mandatory to ensure the path is clear. This concept is a highly tested rule on the G1 knowledge exam and a critical safety action evaluated during the G2 and G practical road tests.
