Which action is moving from one lane to another unsafely?

• A. Crossed double yellow line
• B. Wrong way on one-way street
• C. Passed red light
• D. Moved from lane unsafely

Answer: (D)

The action being tested is unsafe lane changing. In New York, changing lanes must be done only when it can be done safely: you signal, check mirrors and blind spots, and ensure there is enough space so you won’t cut off another vehicle or surprise someone nearby. If you move to another lane without that safety check, or you do it abruptly, it’s considered unsafe. That’s why “moved from lane unsafely” best fits the scenario. Crossing a double yellow line is about illegal passing rather than the act of changing lanes itself; it describes crossing a line to pass, which is a different traffic violation. Wrong way on a one-way street is about direction, not switching lanes. Running a red light is a traffic signal violation, not a lane-change issue. So the only option that describes performing a lane change without ensuring safety is moving from one lane unsafely.
