How should traffic be observed before carrying out a maneuver?
Preventive and Efficient Driving – Observation and Fuel Saving
Explanation
To perform a maneuver safely, it is essential to **observe the traffic** properly. This can be done **directly** or **through the rearview mirrors**.
- **Observing directly** involves carefully looking at the road and the traffic around you. This allows you to have a clear view of what is happening around you before making any movement.
- **Using the rearview mirrors** is essential to see what is happening behind and to the sides of the vehicle. These mirrors help you stay informed about the traffic without needing to turn your head completely, which is important to keep an eye on the road ahead of you.
- It is important to remember that there are **blind spots**, areas that cannot be seen through the mirrors. To ensure there are no vehicles in these spots, you can slightly turn your head and look out the window, but this is not necessary for all maneuvers.
Therefore, observation can be done **directly or through the mirrors**, making the first option the correct one.
