How to Operate Car Turn Signals for Left and Right Turns?
1 Answers
Car turn signal operation method: up for right, down for left. Turning the signal lever upwards (clockwise) activates the right turn signal, while turning it downwards (counterclockwise) activates the left turn signal. Below are relevant details: 1. When overtaking, first activate the left turn signal, then the right. Use the left signal when entering a highway and the right signal when exiting. No signal is needed when entering a roundabout, but use the right signal when exiting. Activate the right turn signal when pulling over to park and the left signal when starting from a parked position. Use the left turn signal when making a U-turn. Turn signals are required when changing lanes. 2. When preparing to turn, activate the turn signal 10-20 seconds in advance to give following drivers sufficient reaction time. However, the exact timing should be determined based on road conditions, traffic situation, and vehicle speed, but generally not less than 10 seconds.
