How to Safely Maneuver Into a Lane

When driving on the open road, you need to pay attention to other drivers, obstacles in the road, pedestrians and road workers. When maneuvering your vehicle into another lane you must take notice of the cars currently traveling in that lane, as cutting them off could prove dangerous. Following a basic set of guidelines anytime you maneuver into another lane can greatly reduce the chances of causing an accident.


1. Turn on the turn signal indicating your intent to maneuver into the lane.

2.Check ahead in the lane you in which you intend to maneuver. Make certain there are no stopped vehicles,  obstacles or pedestrians in the lane.

3.Look in the rear-view and side-view mirrors to make certain the lane is clear of other vehicles.

4.Look over your shoulder quickly, towards the lane you intend to turn into, and check the areas that your mirrors do not show. These are known as "blind spots."

5.Turn your steering wheel toward the lane you would like to maneuver into, if the lane is clear. Move into the lane quickly, but as carefully as possible. Spend a minimal amount of time between the two lanes.

6.Straighten the steering wheel and turn your turn signal off.
