When a driver is making a left-hand turn, what mirrors should they particularly concentrate on?

  1. A.The interior mirror.
  2. B.The interior and right exterior mirror.
  3. C.The right exterior mirror.
  4. D.The interior and left exterior mirror.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. The interior and left exterior mirror.

When turning left, drivers should in particular be aware that cyclists and other vehicles may come up on their near side (left hand side). For that reason, when checking mirrors, it is particularly important to check both the left exterior and the interior mirror before turning. Drivers must always use the mirrors-signal-mirror-manoeuvre routine when turning. They should be particularly careful if crossing the path of a bus and/or cycle lane.
