Transcription: A lane change is one of the most common maneuvers you'll have to make whenever you drive on busy city streets. You should scan well ahead as you drive along. This will allow you more time to decide if a lane change is necessary. To make a lane change safely, you should check your mirrors and blind spots, signal, recheck the traffic ahead and behind you, then adjust your speed and steer gently into the new lane. Don't forget to cancel your turn signal once your lane change is done.
