Safe Driving & Hazard Perception

What is the correct way to use turn signals?

  • A.Signal well before the turn or lane change, and cancel the signal after completing it
  • B.Signal only if other vehicles are close behind
  • C.Signal during the turn, not before it
  • D.Leave the signal on for several blocks to be safe
Correct answer

A. Signal well before the turn or lane change, and cancel the signal after completing it

Why

Early signaling tells others what you intend before you move, and canceling afterward prevents false information. A signal left on invites another driver to pull out in front of you.
