Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By briefly turning your head.
The blind spot is precisely the area your mirror doesn't show you. That's why you briefly turn your head toward that side to check it. You check the mirror first to see the rest of the traffic, but it won't tell you if someone is in that spot. In the image, the gray passenger car has its right turn signal on, and a cyclist is riding to its right.
