-
The
safety-minded driver always communicates with other motorists by using
the turn signal well ahead of time (at least eight to ten seconds) before
changing lanes.
-
Also
start your signal before you begin the maneuver so that other motorists
have time to recognize your signal.
-
Commercial
vehicle traffic can be restricted on certain highways and city streets.
-
Confirm
your routing prior to your trip.
-
Knowing
the exit you will be exiting in advance will minimize the hazards of a
last minute lane change.
-
If
you will need to change lanes, do so well ahead of time to avoid "last
minute" or "panic" lane changes.
