When making lateral movements, is it enough to look in the rear-view mirrors?
Controls
Explanation
To make lateral movements safely, it is not enough to only look through the **rearview mirrors**. Although these mirrors allow you to see what is happening behind and to the sides of the vehicle, there is always an area that cannot be seen through them, known as the **blind spot**. This space is dangerous because you cannot monitor what is happening there.
To ensure there is no other vehicle in the blind spot before changing lanes, it is advisable to **turn your head** and look through the window. This helps to verify that the path is clear and that it is safe to perform the maneuver. Therefore, in addition to using the mirrors, turning your head is an essential practice to avoid accidents when changing lanes.
