Can I turn left if the left turn signal is off?

[Cody]

If the left turn signal is not working, turning left is not considered a traffic violation and will not result in penalties or demerit points. Even if it is mistakenly judged as running a red light, you can apply for administrative reconsideration at the traffic police department to have the violation revoked. Since the violation was caused by a malfunctioning traffic signal, the traffic police department will review the case and, if confirmed, will not impose any penalties. Below is relevant information: 1. Solution: When traffic is light, you can stop and observe the pattern of the traffic lights, waiting until the left turn signal turns green before proceeding. If the pattern of the left turn signal cannot be determined, you should first use a dashcam or phone to record the malfunctioning left turn signal and proceed to turn left when it is safe. 2. Turn Signal: The turn signal is an important indicator light that is activated when a vehicle is turning to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulb uses a xenon tube, controlled by a microcontroller circuit, and operates with an alternating left-right flash pattern continuously.
