This driving task begins as you look for a space to change lanes
and ends when you have completed the lane change. Remember to
follow these actions: While waiting to change lanes safely, look
all around you. Divide your attention between watching in front,
watching the mirrors and checking your blind spot. If there is
another lane beside the one you are moving into, check traffic
in that lane to avoid colliding with a vehicle moving into the
lane at the same time as you do. Turn on your signal when there
is enough space for you to change lanes. After signalling, check
your blind spot one more time before starting to move into the
other lane. Your signal should be on soon enough to give traffic
behind you time to react to the signal. If traffic in the lane
you are moving into is heavy, you may turn on your signal before
there is enough space to change lanes. This will let traffic
behind you know that you are looking for a space to change
lanes. Keep at least a two to three-second distance behind the
vehicle in
