Drivers test: How do you properly change lanes?

I failed my drivers test, and I'm just wondering is it ok to make a complete stop in the middle of the street so that you can safley execute a lane change. Or what is the best method? Just keep in mind that I'm a very cautious driver.Drivers test: How do you properly change lanes?
yeah, it's perfectly okay if you want to go to jail.Drivers test: How do you properly change lanes?
Mirror, signal, manouver... Never just slam your brakes on!



there is no other way!
1.turn on the turn signal 2.look over your sholder real quick to make sure it's safe 3.drift over, but not too fast.
It's not a good idea to do that. If you plan your lane change ahead of time, instead of doing it impulsively, you can seamlessly change lanes while keeping up with surrounding traffic. Look for a safe gap, turn on your signal, look briefly over your shoulder to make sure it's safe, then gently merge over to the next lane.
no the only way you can change lanes is with useing a blinker you cant stop in the street the only way is if you turning into a store then you have to use the turning lane then you can stop
Making the lane change



First, make sure it is safe to change lanes and there are no pedestrians, vehicles, or other obstacles in your planned path of travel. Use your mirrors to see your adjacent and rear surroundings. By using the BGE mirror setting you do not have to turn your head in order to see your surroundings. The BGE mirror setting also reduces the two typical blindspots into four mini blindspots. The four mini blindspots are not large enough to completely hide a vehicle.



Next, turn on your turn signal. You want other vehicles around you to be aware that you plan on changing lanes. Do not simply flick your turn signal so that it flashes once. Two flickers isn檛 enough either. Leave your turn signal on throughout the entire lane change process.



Re-check your surroundings by using your side and rearview mirrors. Determine the gap you will move into and ensure nothing is in the way. The gap should be large enough to allow you to enter the lane without disrupting the flow of traffic. Other vehicles should not have to slow down, speed up, or change lanes because you entered their lane.



Once you have determined there is ample room and time for you to enter a new lane, you can smoothly move into the new lane. Do not turn the wheel abruptly or sharply, causing the car to jerk into the new lane. All it takes is a slight turn of the wheel to smoothly move into a new lane. Either maintain your current speed or accelerate slightly just before and during the lane change. Do not slow down, as this will cause vehicles behind you to get closer and possibly cause a collision.



After you are in your new lane, turn off your turn signal. Readjust your speed to keep with the flow of traffic in your new lane. Check your mirrors to reacquaint yourself with the new conditions behind you and to ensure the vehicle behind you is not too close to you after you entered the lane.
no, keep going, slow it down a little but make sure you turn your signal on the way you want to turn first, then check your mirrors and then over your shoulder
are you dumb? use some common sense! put on you turn signal, look over your should and move over steady!
Instead of panicing and quickly shifting, slowly transition from lane to lane.
