Never change lanes without:

Signaling and decreasing speed.
Signaling, checking rear view mirrors and checking blind spots.
Blowing your horn and providing appropriate hand signals.
Checking rear view mirror.

The correct answer is: Signaling, checking rear view mirrors and checking blind spots.

In order to safely change lanes, you should always signal to indicate your intention to other drivers on the road. However, simply signaling is not enough. It is important to also check your rear view mirrors to assess the speed and distance of the vehicles behind you. Additionally, checking your blind spots, which are areas not visible in the rear view or side mirrors, is crucial in ensuring that there are no other vehicles in your intended lane. Blowing your horn and using hand signals may also be helpful, but they are not considered necessary or appropriate in all situations. Overall, option B provides a comprehensive and safe approach to changing lanes.
