Changing lanes
MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, Changing lanes
A lane change moves you from one lane to another on a road with two or more lanes in the same direction. You may need one to pass another vehicle, to avoid a parked vehicle or when the vehicle ahead slows to turn at an intersection. Never change lanes without giving the proper signal and looking to make sure the move can be made safely.
