Do You Need to Use Turn Signals When Reversing?
1 Answers
When reversing and turning, you need to use the turn signal. Below is the correct usage of turn signals: Left turn signal: Turn on the left turn signal in advance when turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn; because entering the highway is a left turn, while exiting the highway is a right turn. Similarly, turn on the left turn signal when entering the main road from a side road. Right turn signal: Turn on the right turn signal in advance when turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside. Use the right turn signal when exiting a roundabout to alert vehicles behind and oncoming traffic. This is a clear regulation in the new traffic rules, whereas many drivers previously used the left turn signal when entering a roundabout.
