A solid line at the left of your lane
You should not pass the line. (even if it’s next to another not solid line)

Continuity lines
What do continuity lines on your LEFT side mean?
The lane you are in is ending or exiting and you must change lanes

A white arrow painted at an intersection
If you are in the lane that the arrow is in, you must move in the direction that the arrow is pointing.
How should you sit when you are getting ready to drive? (3 points).
Sit straight in the driver’s seat. You should be able to see the ground four metres ahead of your car. The back of your head should be directly in the middle of the headrest. Finally, find your blind spots.
How do you find your blind spots before driving? (1 point)
Look in your mirrors and adjust to figure out where your blind spots are (areas on each side of the car where you cannot see just from looking in the mirrors). Adjust your mirrors so there are the least blind spots possible.
What is the best way to adjust your interior window?
Try to position the interior window (the one inside the car) so that its centre shows the centre of your back window.
What is the best way to adjust your left outside mirror?
Lean towards the window, move the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your car. (you should be able to see directly behind the car).
What is the best way to adjust your right outside mirror?
Same as the left exterior (you should be able to just see the back of the car). Lean to the centre of the car to reach it.
How can you determine the blind spots of your car?
Have someone walk around it and determine when you can and cannot see them just through the mirrors.
