When making a lane change, what should you do after signaling?

  1. Check your mirrors to ensure enough room

  2. Speed up immediately

  3. Slow down and change lanes gradually

  4. Turn on your hazard lights

The correct answer is: Check your mirrors to ensure enough room

After signaling for a lane change, the next critical step is to check your mirrors to ensure there is enough room to safely make the maneuver. This action allows you to assess the position and distance of other vehicles around you, ensuring that you have a clear path into the new lane. By confirming that it is safe to change lanes, you reduce the risk of a collision and enhance the overall safety of your driving. Properly scanning your mirrors helps to ensure that you are aware of any vehicles that may be in your blind spots, allowing for a more confident and responsible lane change. The other options do not prioritize safety in the same way. Speeding up immediately can lead to reckless driving behavior, while slowing down could disrupt traffic flow. Turning on hazard lights is generally not appropriate for signaling a lane change, as they are intended for indicating a vehicle is stopped or experiencing an emergency.
