When you’re changing lanes and notice a vehicle in your blind spot, the best course of action is to slow down and let the vehicle pass. This approach enhances safety for both you and the other driver. By slowing down, you create distance and allow them to proceed, which ensures that you can change lanes safely without risking a collision or causing confusion to the other driver.

Making an abrupt lane change when there is a vehicle in your blind spot could lead to an accident, as you may not have sufficient space to maneuver safely. Simply turning on your signal and continuing without gauging the surrounding traffic is also not advisable, as it ignores the presence of vehicles that could interfere with your lane change. Accelerating to clear the lane could create a hazardous situation, as it increases the risk of misjudgment about the other vehicle's speed and distance, potentially leading to a crash. Prioritizing caution and situational awareness is essential for safe driving practices.
