Lane Changing Rules and Blind Spot Checks in India
Unsafe lane changes are a major cause of near-miss incidents.
Correct sequence
1. Check inside + side mirrors.
2. Turn indicator on for at least 3 flashes.
3. Shoulder check blind spot quickly.
4. Change lane smoothly without sudden acceleration.
Common mistake
Indicator and movement together with no blind-spot check.
Use one lane change at a time; avoid weaving across multiple lanes.
