Changing lanes is one of the largest causes and contributors to vehicle accidents. The reason for the incidents has more to do with risky behavior than it has to do with the task itself.
Moving out of one lane into another without signaling, checking your blind spots, or paying attention to the traffic ahead, can lead to devastating accidents.
The key to reducing these dangerous incidents lies in understanding the danger of unsafe driving behaviors and the importance of following safe steps each and every time you make a lane change.
