How to Use Turn Signals for Left and Right Turns?
2 Answers
Turn signals are generally activated by pushing the lever up for a right turn and down for a left turn. When overtaking, you need to first turn on the left signal and then the right signal. After completing the overtaking maneuver and returning to the original lane, you should turn on the right signal again. When parking by the roadside, you usually turn right, so pushing the lever up will activate the right turn signal.
How to signal for left and right turns? I have to say, this is an essential driving skill. Usually, there's a control lever next to the steering wheel that can be operated with your left hand. For a left turn, gently push the lever downward, and for a right turn, push it upward. This action is simple, but you must signal in advance, turning on the indicator about 30 to 50 meters before the turn, so that vehicles behind and other drivers can anticipate your move and avoid collisions. After completing the turn, the system will automatically reset and turn off the indicator. After driving for a long time, I've noticed that beginners often forget to check if the indicator is on, especially in poor visibility conditions like rainy or overcast days, which is even more dangerous. Also, be extra careful at intersections—don't signal randomly and mislead others. Remember, safety comes first. It's not just a rule; it's about protecting your life and others'.
