What should drivers do regarding mirrors while driving?

• A. Ignore mirrors
• B. Rely only on the rearview mirror
• C. Glance at the mirrors only at stoplights
• D. Glance often

Answer: (D)

Regularly checking mirrors is essential for safe driving because it keeps you aware of what’s happening around your vehicle. By glancing at the rearview and side mirrors often, you can see vehicles approaching from behind, monitor traffic in adjacent lanes, and spot others who might be in your blind spots. This awareness helps you anticipate lane changes, braking, or sudden movements, giving you time to react calmly and safely. Relying only on the rearview mirror or glancing only at stoplights leaves you vulnerable to surprises, and ignoring mirrors altogether is dangerous. Make it a habit to glance at your mirrors frequently, especially before changing lanes, adjusting speed, or when traffic conditions change.
