Which shoulder do you look over when you change lanes?

I'm confused about changing lanes and making turns, any tips?

And how do you ';signal';?

and I'm not sure which shoulder I'm supposed to look over when I change to the right lane, left lane, or turn.



My behind-the-weal test is in 7 days and I want to do really good on it!!Which shoulder do you look over when you change lanes?
Look in your rear view mirror, the wing mirror, right shoulder. You would have indicated as you initially checked your mirrorWhich shoulder do you look over when you change lanes?
both, at the same time
Stay off the road......please
Both. Check all blindspots.
Look over your right shoulder when you change to the right lane. Left shoulder when you change to the left lane. Basically you're looking to see if anyone is coming up on the spot you want to move into. When you turn, you're supposed to look all ways.



Usually your turn signal is the bar sticking out from behind the left side of the steering wheel. You flick it up when you want to turn right or merge right, and down when you want to turn left or merge left. It's easy to remember because when you are turning right, your hands move the steering wheel clockwise, so just flick the bar the same direction as your hands are already moving. Same for left: just flick the bar the same direction as your hands are already moving.
nethier i just do whatever the **** i want.
Look in the direction you're turning/changing lanes. If you're going into the left lane, look over your shoulder to the left.



Signaling is just the act of using your blinkers.. if you don't use them, you shouldn't be driving.
Use the force
You look over the shoulder of the direction you are changing lanes. Ex. if you are changing into the right lane,you look over your right shoulder. Yeep.
That depends on what side I'm switching to. Honestly, I check both shoulders because I'm a really defensive driver. But if you're taking a test or something I'd say if you're going left, check left. If you're going right, check right.
Look over both shoulders, in case someone is crossing 2 lanes at the time. To signal, you activate the left or right blinker, whichever way you'll be going. Every car is a bit different, but it's usually on the steering column.



Haven't your parents practiced any of this?
Use the blinkers. You look over the shoulder of the lane you're changing into ... right lane/right shoulder, left lane/left shoulder.



Read your drivers handbook again. Good luck.
To signal a lane change, use your right or left directional signal, or ';turn signal';. If you are moving to the right, use your right directional signal, and if moving to the left, use your left directional signal. When changing lanes, you should focus on looking over the shoulder that is in the direction that you are moving (Ex: If you are moving into the right lane, you should focus on looking over your right shoulder.) However, that being said, I always like to look both to my left and my right before making a lane change, because every once in a while, you'll get a crazy driver flying over multiple lanes of traffic out of nowhere. xD



The same idea goes for turns. Focus on where you are turning the car, but keep an eye out for drivers coming from every direction.



I'm sure you'll do great on your driving test. Best of luck!
You should read the driver's manual again, maybe sign up for a behind the wheel class.



To ';signal'; means to use your turn signals, they tell other drivers where you plan to go. Keep in mind that just because you tell them where you are going does not mean they will allow you to go there!



When driving you look over your shoulder to check and see if there is a vehicle in your blind spot, that is the area to the side and slightly behind your vehicle. If you are moving to the LEFT lane you look over your left shoulder, if you are moving into the RIGHT lane look over your right shoulder.



You should sit in a vehicle that is parked in a full parking lot, sit in the driver's seat and use the mirrors to see the other cars parked around you - you will notice that you may not be able to see the cars that would be near you while driving.
If you have to ask this, please do your part for highway safety and ride the bus.



Thank you.
