Turn your head and check your blind spot.

Look only at your mirrors.

Rely on your peripheral vision.

Remaining alert.

Identifying hazards and prioritizing risks.

Riding without a headlight.

Maintaining a space cushion.

To reduce your risk of being involved in a crash, you should remain alert and ready to react to any hazard. Identify hazards and decide the order in which you need to address the hazards.

15. Your lane position should do all of the following, except:

Help you avoid road hazards.

Help you avoid other drivers’ blind spots.

Help you avoid being seen by other drivers.

Increase your ability to be seen by others.

A well-chosen lane position should increase your ability to see and be seen and keep you out of other drivers' blind spots.
