Common Causes of Car Accidents #11: Unsafe lane changes.

Regardless if you’re on a city street driving 25 or on the thruway driving 55, never change lanes without first:
• Checking your mirrors
• Turning your head to check your blind spots
• Putting on your turn signal

Nowadays, your vehicle’s safety features make it very easy to detect when another vehicle is beside yours, but these features don’t account for vehicles gaining speed or changing lanes. Taking 30 seconds to confirm that no other vehicle is in your desired lane or is merging into your desired lane can be the difference between arriving at your destination and causing an accident.
