stupid observation question - sorry

[mealexme]

when turning left, when doing lifesavers, which shoulder should you look over? or should u look over both? because i remember reading somewhere that you should look over your right shoulder, but seems more sensible to look over your left to me?

Here's what I was told by my instructors last Autumn.

On a main road turning off left:

Rear Observation (Left Mirror, Right Mirror, Right Lifesaver)

Indicator

Left Lifesaver before turning

On a minor road turning left at the junction onto a main road:

Rear Observation (LM, RM, RL)

Indicator,

Left Lifesaver

Move to the left of the road

Observe the road is clear

Left Lifesaver just before you turn onto the road.

Hope that helps.

Are you talking about doing lifesavers for a test or just in general?

If its for a test then lifesaver (both sides), Mirror then one more lifesaver the way you will be turning, If its just a general question then alls you need to do is make sure you are sure its safe to turn, if that means doing 10 lifesavers then do 10!!

I would look over both shoulders - but not at the same time.
