How many ways are there to use car turn signals?
1 Answers
Car turn signals serve as a warning function and have the following 7 usage methods: 1. Up for "right" and down for "left" - turning the signal up (clockwise) indicates a right turn, while turning it down (counterclockwise) indicates a left turn. 2. When overtaking, first activate the left turn signal, then the right turn signal; according to regulations, overtaking must be done from the left side, so the left turn signal is needed first. After overtaking, when returning to the original lane, activate the right turn signal. 3. Activate the left turn signal when entering a highway and the right turn signal when exiting a highway. This is because entering a highway involves turning left, while exiting involves turning right. Similarly, activate the left turn signal when entering the main road from an auxiliary road and the right turn signal when entering an auxiliary road from the main road. 4. No signal is needed when entering a roundabout, but the right turn signal should be activated when exiting. Since entering a roundabout requires following the flow of traffic, no signal is necessary. The right turn signal when exiting serves as a reminder to vehicles behind and oncoming traffic. 5. Activate the right turn signal when parking by the roadside and the left turn signal when starting from a parked position. Parking by the roadside generally involves turning right, hence the right turn signal. Leaving the roadside generally involves turning left, hence the left turn signal. 6. Activate the left turn signal when making a U-turn. U-turns generally involve turning left, so the left turn signal is used. 7. Turn signals are required when changing lanes - activate the left turn signal when moving to the left lane and the right turn signal when moving to the right lane.
