check your blindspot, indicate 3 seconds before changing lanes, then slowly change lanes so you give the other driver enough time to react and slow down
You cannot imagine how helpful this was thanks a lot. My instructor is always telling me why are you not changing and sometimes saying I'm changing when it's not safe.. it's because I find it hard to decide when it's safe or not, and hard for me to judge speed of the vehicle as well. This will help in my first assessment I hope.
What I do is check my blindspot and then check my side mirror. I’ve heard that once you see both headlights of the car of the lane you want to turn to then it is safe to do so so that’s what I do
Yes, you do that if you’re in a 3 lane road or more, coz car coming from far lane may go to the lane you wanted to go, that is not visible to your side mirror.
If the distance between you and the car is shortening as your driving and you are relatively close then don’t change lanes and wait to pass But if there’s a safe enough distance and the distance between you and the car is not increasing then indicate, wait a couple of seconds and move into the lane but do it quickly as going slow just causes more problems (This is advice mainly for motorways rather than typical roads)
Can we switch lanes if a Big Truck behind is maintaining same speed & almost fully covers both the 1st and 2nd quadrants? Scenario is that I am driving already at the speed limit and so I cannot accelarate & switch lanes.
