Do You Need to Turn on the Turn Signal When Driving in a Curve?

[DelGrace]

You do not need to turn on the turn signal when driving in a curve. The turn signal is a warning light used by motor vehicles to alert other traffic participants during driving, emitting a continuous flashing yellow light when activated. Scenarios for using turn signals: When overtaking, turn on the left turn signal for at least three seconds before changing lanes when conditions permit. To return to the original lane, activate the right turn signal in advance. When pulling over to park, use the right turn signal. After leaving the parking spot, first turn on the left turn signal. These signals must be activated for at least three seconds. When merging lanes, avoid turning on the turn signal while merging simultaneously, as this renders the signal ineffective. Activate the turn signal in advance based on the traffic situation, for at least three seconds. How to activate the turn signal: The turn signal switch is usually located on the left side of the steering wheel. Its operation can be summarized as "up for right, down for left"—turning the switch upward (clockwise) indicates a right turn, while turning it downward (counterclockwise) indicates a left turn.
