Sample question from test 2
right-of-way
When changing into Michigan's left lane, what check should the driver make before moving?
- Check traffic behind and on the left, signal, and move carefully
- Check only the right mirror and move quickly
- Use the shoulder without checking traffic
- Turn without a signal if the lane looks open
Answer: Check traffic behind and on the left, signal, and move carefully. For a move into the left lane, Michigan calls for checking traffic behind and on the left, performing a head check, using the left-turn signal, and moving carefully. A right-mirror-only glance can miss a vehicle in the left-side blind area. The shoulder is not a substitute lane, and an open-looking gap still requires a signal and a head check. Use the sequence as a cue: mirror, head check, signal, then a controlled lane change after confirming that the space remains clear.
