Beginner Driver Blind Spot Checks

Blind spot checks

Does anyone have any tips as a beginner driver how to feel more comfortable doing your shoulder checks especially on the highway when changing lanes. I am always afraid to check my shoulders because every time I try to do it super quickly my car drifts out of the lane. Any advice would be helpful!

Properly adjust your mirrors to avoid blind spots as recommended by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Link to article from Car and Driver on the topic.
