What problems do you have?
Moving into a truck’s blind spot (The NO ZONE) is a really bad idea!
The black car is moving into the center lane!
How do you solve the problems?
Postpone: Wait until space on the right is open and stable.

What’s the Problem?In heavy traffic there may not be a big enough gap to move into.
How do you solve the problem? Use your signal; ask cooperation from the driver to your rear. They may say yes, reducing their speed and opening a gap for you. If so, hooray! Remember the gift and pass it on to othersThey may say no – don’t stress about it; cancel signal, adjust speed, get open side position at another gap and ask again.Danger! This communication dance can be a distraction; keep control over the front zone. Make 1/3 second glances to the mirror, and separate each glance with a look to the front zone. Your speed and your position are your top priorities!
