Are Car Turn Signals Up-Left and Down-Right?
1 Answers
Car turn signals are up-right and down-left. Here is an introduction to car turn signals: Car Turn Signals: These are lights that serve to alert pedestrians or vehicles in front or behind when the car is turning. Car turn signals can be categorized by material into gas turn signals and LED turn signals, and by location into front turn signals, rear turn signals, and side turn signals. Principle: The lamp tube uses a xenon lamp tube, and the circuit is controlled by a microcontroller, enabling alternating left-right flashing without interruption. The flasher can be divided into three types based on its structure: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. The resistance wire type can further be divided into thermal wire type (electrothermal) and vane type (bounce type), while the electronic type can be divided into hybrid type (with relay contacts and electronic components) and fully electronic type (without relay). For example, the bounce-type flasher operates on the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, using the heat effect of current to cause sudden movements in the spring strip, thereby connecting and disconnecting the contacts to achieve light flashing. Precautions for Using Turn Signals: If you observe a need to turn while driving, be sure to activate the turn signal about 10 seconds in advance to alert vehicles behind to take timely measures, such as slowing down or stopping, to avoid collisions or even rear-end accidents. However, it is also best not to activate the turn signal too far in advance, as this may cause visual fatigue for drivers behind, leading to "road rage." The timing should be carefully judged by the driver.
