Cell phones are fast becoming the number one cause of traffic incidents and many lives are lost each year due to their distraction in a motor vehicle. Secondly, check your rear view mirror, then your side mirrors for vehicles or objects around your vehicle. Be sure to indicate early so that other drivers are aware of your intentions. When the lane is clear and you feel confident, change lanes.
