Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes; you run the risk of not seeing it, since it may be in the blind spot of your mirrors.
Yes. If you drive alongside a motorcycle or moped, it can be in your mirror’s blind spot, and you will not see it when changing lanes or turning. In the image, the motorcycle is traveling almost alongside the passenger car in the next lane. Position yourself ahead of it or behind it, keeping a safe following distance. The danger exists even if you are not driving fast.
