If the car is in the 4th quadrant well you’re screwed

I was never taught how to change lanes properly, so after around 3 months of driving I figured out a rule of thumb that if you can see both headlights of a car behind you that is moving in desired lane, it is 99% of the time safe to shift in this lane (though you also should consider both your and the car's speed, the slower you are/the faster the car is, the smaller the window for shift becomes). It is essentially the same thing as stated here, 2nd quadrant, but IMO my version is more simple to memorize. And yes, never hurts to double-check the blind spot, especially when merging into the highway.

Good tip is that if you have a clear vision of BOTH the other vehicle’s headlights in the side mirror, you are good. But it doesnt hurt to look over your shoulder! Stay safe!

Kia: 4 Quadrants, easy-peasy. Blind spot: Allow me to introduce myself.

You can't trust mirrors. I always give a very quick glance over my shoulder.

Explaining lane changes by using quadrants is an absolutely perfect idea. Thanks, Kia Iraq!

I've been driving for 66 years but it never hurts to brush up on things because sometimes you get a little complacent. Also, for the last 30 years, I've been living in a very small town where the speed limit never exceeds 35. So when I go up to the big city, where traffic has probably tripled since I lived there, I do get a little apprehensive. So, I'm going to regularly brush up by watching your videos.

Also, beware of the blind spot. If the car behind you is closer to you, but not even with you, you won't see it in the mirror. So, a quick look to your back left (behind your shoulder) is always a must.

look over your shoulder too, especially during a road test

The last part cracked me up😂😂

Thanks, I’ve been driving for 5 years without this and now I think this is gonna change my attitude when driving!

I don't have time to calculate which quadrant.

"Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear" I use my rear mirror most times

Use your mirrors and then check your blind spot before changing lanes

We have NUMEROUS DRIVERS in Edmonton who DESPERATELY need to watch this video. As a professional driver, i check my mirrors every 30 seconds. It's called SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. It's always a good thing to know what's happening around your vehicle.

First: why is this in my recommendations Second: Kia has a KZfaq account for Iraq?!?!

I would love to watch more videos like this. Please make a video on how to judge the distance from front and left and right.

And dont forget to calculate how far and fast the car on quadrant 2 compared to your speed, esp when changing to faster lane (left lane or right lane, depend on which country)

The laugh in the end when caught was cute haha

0:34 dat face tho

One tip is if you can see the car bumper behind you in your rear mirron then it is 100% safe to change lane

The dude at the end had me weak 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Now make a video on how to know which quadrant the car is in.

Cant do this move with my BMW.Is this only available with the "Blinker" DLC?

wow, I been driving on and off for years and I never been taught it this way!

this is so cuteeee i love this animation

"aghh do no write in the car" that was hilarious 😂

Is this true for both right and left wing mirror? Thanks

Need more this type of information. This is really good 👍

How do you make a video like this? What is the program or performance made?

The car honk reminds me of every damn pickup drivers that won’t let you pass. 😂😂

I almost hit a car today :( I don't even care what happens to me i'm worried I take someones life with my terrible driving, thanks to God I didn't hit the car

Keep your eyes and head moving at all times, checking your mirrors. Spot mirrors (aka blind spot mirrors) help too, they give you a wider angle to help you see what is right next to you. I install them on all my vehicles and motorcycles. On roadways, usually highways, that have 3 or more lanes traveling in one direction, the spot mirrors help me see 2 lanes over on either side of me so I can see if someone 2 lanes over is moving into the lane next to me as I may be changing lanes. Helps sometimes to turn your head and look also. My 5 rules of the road are: Speed management,space management, visual search, communication, can’t be in a big fat hurry! Oh and # 6, be courteous. Oh, and one more, never assume the other driver knows where you may be going, and vice-versa! Unless it’s a case when turn signals are indicating the intention . Don’t just focus on the car in front of you, you should also be looking about 1/4 mile ahead. Cause if the car ahead of you has to slam on his brakes, you may not react or stop in time. If your driving fast on highway, that line of sight distance is further than 1/4 mile. I’ve seen where lots of traffic on a busy highway come up on a hill, they can’t see over the hill, traffic is stopped or slowing and OH NO ! Everybody has to slam on their brakes!! Be safe.

I’m pretty much about to go to my car at 2:14 in the morning to draw quadrants on my mirrors

Thank you KIA good video 👍🏻

lol the last part was funny af ahhaah

Also important to check the other lanes that could merge into the lane you want. Karen driving 80 could be whipping around from 2 or 3 lanes over.

A blind spot check is the safest way to change lane. First check rear mirror for incoming traffic, then signal and check by turning your head to your shoulder, if clear, then you're good to change lane. So its mirror signal, blind spot, then change lane. Blind spot check never fails, but check for incoming traffic as well.l

Thank you Kia Iraq!, you are the best! Hope everything in Iraq is going well!

Simple but very life saving (What a tutorial)

"Do not write on the car"🤣🤣👌👌. Good job anyway 👍

And you didn't mention blind spot 🙃 Probably the most important thing while changing lanes

Always take a quick glance because there is still a blind spot like for a two wheel vehicle Mirror then a quick glance Then change

Sonu güzeldi, ben de aracım olduğu zaman aynayı işaretleyeceğim 😁

what happen if the car is on the 4th quadrant?

In summary, only change lanes if car is completely inside the upper half of the mirror.

Evil cars honking are too funny lol

Why would there be a movie about lane changing without use of the required turn signals?

Everything is Math! Thanks.

I was just thinking while watching about last part of video 😂

That weird smile at the end. Lmfao.

I watched this movie in the mirror on hand, because we drive on the left in Japan :my country.

wow! i learned what a quadrant was

Should i give light signal to change lanes?

a thug life car on the 4th quadrant.

0:37 saved me thanks

lol i was about to do the same thing drawing on the mirror then they show that last part lmfao

Will this work on my Toyota

What about mirror on the right?

Good tip thank u

What anime is this?

Always check your blind spot first before attempting to change lanes.

Need shoulder view checking too, blind spots included.

You cant see him if this is a vampire

It's simple if you can see other car Fully in your mirror do it if not don't even think about it (partially seen cars on mirror be too to u) PS :look over your shoulder to ensure the blind spots also gets covered🤗

Thank goodness I paid attention in Trigonometry class.

wtf paul...

Just dont forget to signal light so the back car would beep if it is too close.

Thank you so much!!

Always check blind spots, whether you look over your shoulder behind you or lean forward checking the mirror at different angles. I nearly hit a motorbike one time cuz I didn't do this

Me getting ready to draw two lines on the car , then the man pop up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

nice video😍

Nice video

is wearing a fedora optional

Of course kia/hyundai drivers need a video like this

You just need to be able to see the entire car in the mirror and you’re good (similar to the both headlights method)

I as already thinking of drawing it on the car and damn they say no already 😂😂😂

be careful, you won’t see vampire’s car in the mirror

I checked the date for April 1st.. unfortunately it's not

Dont understand do we just check side mirror??? Because my instructor insist on checking central,side and blind spot..find it so hard especial when changing lanes inside roudabouts...i always drift or do it wrong!!!

It also depends on how you adjust your side mirror, doesn't it?

0:38 a kia welcome sound from 2017 Sedona/carnival US Spec And Korean Spec

How about using the indicator and checking distance and if the car behind does honk or flashes then change it

good tip

I thought that those mirrors were for my best friend and I to look at our nails 🤷🏻‍♀️ You learn something new every single day. Next, you’ll tell me that blind spot monitoring doesn’t just notify drivers of blind pedestrians

How come you didn't mention blind spots? You can't see blind spots on side mirrors unless you lean forward while checking the mirrors. I do that when a passenger and b pillars obstruct my view

You should also shoulder check after checking mirrors

Need a video for using turn signals!

People be like, look over your shoulder, but that takes way to long and I feel like I could hit something in front.

not me wanting to draw on the mirrors hahaha

You teach people by "fr legends" 😂

Which mirror is this? Right or left?

Great tip thank you!

* Italy want to know your location *

what if the car is in the 4th quadrant

Its a really helpful advice, although there are always speedy morons that want to scare you in todays road

After seeing this video, I think car manufacturers should pre-etch the quadrant lines on the side mirrors.

Rear view mirrors help us to find out the blind spots for changing lanes firstly then we can trust the side mirrors, cars crossing like wind 💨 🧐

اتمنى وضع لنا نفس الفيديو باللغه العربيه لو سمحتوا او حتى ترجمه

Lol when i see the other car headlight in my mirror i can change lane I use this technique and it’s effective lol
