What is required in order to change lanes without causing any disturbance or risk?
- The driver should only verify that he gives a signal with the winker while changing lanes.
- Correct answer: The driver should give a timely signal from a sufficient distance, perform a peripheral check in all directions, and glance at the mirrors, before starting to change lanes.
- The driver should communicate with other drivers and give a signal 3km before changing lanes.
- The driver should give a signal with the winker and with the headlights while changing lanes.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The driver should give a timely signal from a sufficient distance, perform a peripheral check in all directions, and glance at the mirrors, before starting to change lanes.
A safe lane change is prepared before you move: signal early enough and from a sufficient distance so others understand your intention, then check the mirrors and look around in all directions, including blind spots. A signal alone does not make the lane clear, and signalling 3 km ahead only confuses other drivers.
