When changing lanes, use mirrors and look over your shoulder while keeping the wheel steady.

Be aware of driving in the blind spots of other vehicles, particularly 18-wheelers.If you cannot see the truck driver's reflection in his or her side mirror, you are in the truck driver's blind spot and they cannot see you.
