When changing lanes, which action is NOT correct?

Keeping your steering wheel straight while checking your blind spots is not correct when changing lanes. It is important to maintain control of the vehicle and ensure that you are prepared for any potential maneuvers as you check your blind spots. This typically involves having both hands on the steering wheel and being ready to adjust if necessary, especially if the lane change requires a slight turn of the wheel to guide your vehicle into the new lane safely.

In addition, signaling your intent to change lanes, checking your blind spots, and adjusting your speed are all critical components of safely changing lanes. Signaling alerts other drivers to your intentions, checking your blind spots ensures that no vehicles or obstacles are in your path, and adjusting your speed allows for a smoother transition into the new lane without disrupting the flow of traffic. Together, these actions create a safe driving environment and minimize the risk of accidents during lane changes.
