Question: To avoid blind spots when changing lanes:

Answer options:

  • Use mirrors only ✅ Mirrors plus a quick shoulder check
  • Wait for honking
  • Drive slowly

Correct answer: Mirrors plus a quick shoulder check

Explanation: Using your rearview and side mirrors combined with a quick shoulder check is correct because mirrors alone cannot capture vehicles traveling in your blind spots. Relying only on mirrors leaves these critical areas unmonitored, while driving slowly or waiting for others to honk are dangerous practices that do not resolve visual limitations. Under SAAQ safe-driving rules, a complete pre-maneuver check requires looking over the shoulder in the direction of the lane change to ensure the space is clear. On the Québec passenger vehicle knowledge test and practical exam, demonstrating this dual-checking technique is essential for proving safe lane-change execution.
