When changing lanes, you should

Not look over your shoulder
Turn on your blinker
Swerve in and out of lanes
Wait until the lane you want to enter is clear

The correct answer is: Wait until the lane you want to enter is clear

When changing lanes, it is important to always check your blind spot and look over your shoulder to make sure no other vehicles are in your intended path. Turning on your blinker indicates your intention to change lanes, but it is not enough on its own. Swerving in and out of lanes is a dangerous and reckless driving behavior and should never be done. Waiting until the lane you want to enter is clear ensures the safety of both yourself and other drivers on the road.
