Do I need to use turn signals when reversing?

[OKinsley]

When reversing with a turn, turn signals are required; for straight-line reversing, turn signals are not needed. According to Article 57 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicles must use turn signals as follows: 1. The left turn signal should be activated in advance when intending to turn left, change lanes to the left, prepare to overtake, leave a parking spot, or make a U-turn. 2. The right turn signal should be activated in advance when intending to turn right, change lanes to the right, return to the original lane after overtaking, or park by the roadside.
