When should you check your mirrors while driving?

  1. After a break, every three hours or every 150 miles

  2. During lane changes, turns, merges, and tight maneuvers

  3. Whenever you stop at a traffic light

  4. Only during lane changes

The correct answer is: During lane changes, turns, merges, and tight maneuvers

You should check your mirrors while driving during lane changes, turns, merges, and tight maneuvers. This is important for maintaining situational awareness and being aware of other vehicles around you. Checking your mirrors after a break may be too infrequent, as situations can change quickly on the road. Checking only during lane changes is also not sufficient, as it is important to continuously monitor your surroundings while driving. Stopping at a traffic light may not necessarily require a mirror check, as you are not actively maneuvering the vehicle.
