Road scene · Parking scenes
Signal, check your mirrors, then look over your shoulder as the very last check before you move.
What it means
The yellow car is parked at the kerb beside a grey footpath and is signalling right. A pale wedge behind it is what the mirrors show. A yellow dashed triangle off its right rear corner is the blind spot, and a white car is sitting inside it. Only turning your head over your shoulder would reveal that car before the yellow path pulls out into the lane.
Signal right for at least five seconds before you move off.
Check your mirrors for traffic and cyclists coming up.
Do a head check over your right shoulder, and go only if the lane is clear.
Right.Not quite. The answer is C.
A head check over your shoulder covers the blind spot your mirrors miss, so make it the last check before moving.
