According to the General Traffic Regulations, the driver must check the mirrors regularly, even when not making manoeuvres, to stay properly aware of the surroundings and respond to any unexpected change. The rule says the driver must stay in touch with how the vehicle is moving and therefore keep checking continuously, so the correct answer is to look regularly, even when not making a manoeuvre.
