Explanation:

Analyze the question stem and options

The question asks what a driver must ensure other cars are not doing when changing lanes or making turns.

Evaluate the choices based on safe driving practices

• "hiding in your blind spot": Blind spots are areas around the vehicle that cannot be directly observed using mirrors alone. Checking these areas is critical before executing lateral maneuvers like lane changes or turns.
• "turning from the wrong lane": While important, this is not the primary hazard directly addressed by checking your immediate surroundings during a lane change.
• "visible in the rear view mirror": Drivers want other cars to be visible in their mirrors; this is not something to avoid.
• "driving erratically": While a general hazard, the specific, immediate check required during a lane change or turn is to ensure no vehicle is positioned in your blind spot.

Answer:

• hiding in your blind spot (Correct answer)
• turning from the wrong lane
• visible in the rear view mirror
• driving erratically
