Which 2 statements about blind spots when changing lanes or driving alongside cars in the next lane are correct? Select TWO
Remember that blind spots exist not only for your car but also for the car beside you. The turn signal must be turned on in advance, before the point where you change lanes (Article 38(1) of the Road Traffic Act), and even with aids like cameras or warning systems, checking with your own eyes is the basis.
Answer: ①, ②
Explanation
The area diagonally behind another car is that driver's blind spot, so if you stay there they may change lanes without seeing you. Two-wheeled vehicles and bicycles are small and hard to catch in mirrors, so turn your head and check again. The turn signal must be on in advance before the point of changing course (Road Traffic Act Article 38(1), Enforcement Decree Appended Table 2), so do not swerve the moment you switch it on, and driver-assist devices help but do not replace a direct check.
