How to use the side mirrors when changing lanes

Model: Kia KIA Various
Part: Side mirror

In this interesting animation, we see how to correctly use the external rear-view mirrors in the absence of a blind spot. The video refers to a Kia car, but these instructions are valid for all vehicles. When changing lanes, we should imagine that there are four quadrants in the rear-view mirror. The safest time to change lanes is when the car behind us is in the top right quadrant; we should be cautious if it is in the top left quadrant (indicating it is already in the passing lane); and we should never change lanes if it is in the bottom left quadrant, as it means the car is practically next to us.
