By checking the interior mirror first, you can get a general view of what is happening behind your vehicle. Then, by checking the right door mirror, you can specifically see what is happening on the right side of your vehicle. Finally, by checking your blind spot, which is the area not visible in your mirrors, you can ensure that there are no vehicles or obstacles in that area before making any maneuvers.Rate this question:

The correct answer is when you see someone who would benefit from a signal, but not putting it on if the cars behind are too close as they may slow down. This answer suggests that using a signal is appropriate when there is someone who would benefit from it, such as pedestrians or other drivers, but it is not necessary to use it if there are cars behind that are too close, as it may cause them to slow down abruptly. This emphasizes the importance of considering the safety and impact on other drivers when deciding to use a signal.Rate this question:
