Why should you avoid riding in someone's blind spot?

• A. They may change lanes unexpectedly or block escape routes. They could also force the rider into dangerous situations.
• B. It helps you blend with traffic
• C. It improves your fuel economy
• D. It increases your speed

Answer: (A)

Being in a driver’s blind spot is dangerous because they can’t see you and may change lanes or maneuver suddenly without warning. That means you could be squeezed into another lane, clipped, or forced into a dangerous situation because you’re not visible when they move. Staying in that spot also can block your escape route if something goes wrong and you need to react quickly. So you should position yourself where you’re clearly seen in mirrors and have space to maneuver, rather than lingering in a driver’s blind spot. The other ideas don’t help with visibility or keeping safe space around you.
