Default How do you change lanes?

- Look in the side/rearview mirrors?
- Turning your neck and looking behind you?

I just jump into the other lane quickly and blindly and take my chances.

Depends if I'm on a 2 lane or 3+ lane highway.

2 lane i pay attention closely to whats around me and usually know if there's a car behind me or beside me, so i just use my mirrors.

3 lane people are changing lanes so often that i have to turn and look over my shoulder, then change.

What if I'm too short to look over my shoulders?
