About the Training

Improper lane changes account for nearly a third of large truck crashes. This training teaches the full sequence of a safe lane change — mirror and blind spot checks, early signaling, and controlled merging — so drivers move over without putting anyone at risk.

What You'll Learn

  • Check mirrors and blind spots before initiating a lane change
  • Signal early to communicate intent to surrounding traffic
  • Execute lane changes and highway merges safely
  • Recognize the conditions that make a lane change high-risk
