Correct answer
The driver must use the rear-view mirror in a timely manner
Check mirrors in good time with brief glances to understand traffic before signalling and carrying out a manoeuvre, while also maintaining attention ahead. Observation must establish that the manoeuvre is safe; mirrors may have blind spots requiring an additional check when appropriate. Do not keep looking away towards a mirror for a prolonged period or omit observation when manoeuvring.
