Is it correct to use the rearview mirror to check if you can make a lane change?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Before making any lateral movement, you must observe the traffic through the rearview mirrors. However, mirrors do not cover the entire visual field and leave hidden areas known as blind spots. Therefore, it is highly recommended to turn your head slightly to ensure there is no vehicle in that blind area. This direct visual check is key to avoiding collisions when changing lanes.
