Final answer:
When switching lanes on a motorcycle, you should always turn your head and check your blind spot before changing lanes, as the correct and safest method.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just like cars, motorcycles have blind spots. When switching lanes you should turn your head and check your blind spot. Mirrors do not show every part of the road, and it is critical to physically turn your head to ensure there is no vehicle or obstacle in your blind spot before you change lanes. Relying only on mirrors could result in missing something in your blind spot and could lead to a dangerous situation on the road. Peripheral vision is not reliable for detecting objects in your blind spots, and slowing down could create additional risks by disrupting the flow of traffic. Therefore, the correct action is to always turn your head and visually confirm that the way is clear before executing a lane change.
