Before changing lanes, motorcycle riders should turn their heads to look over their shoulders because:

Like any other vehicle, a motorcycle has blind spots that cannot be seen by a rider using their mirrors. A motorcyclist should always turn their head to check for vehicles or other hazards in their blind spot before changing lanes.

• Motorcycles have blind spots, just like other vehicles.
• They can catch the attention of other drivers by turning their heads.
• Mirrors are not really helpful.
• They should try to make eye contact with surrounding drivers.
