Is the car's turn signal up-left and down-right?

[VonRhett]

The car's turn signal is not up-left and down-right; it is up-right and down-left. Drivers can simply imagine the turn signal lever as a steering wheel and turn it in the direction they intend to go. Almost all vehicle models follow the up-right and down-left configuration, which aligns with the driver's daily usage habits. Downward, which is counterclockwise, is generally understood as left, while upward, which is clockwise, is generally understood as right. As a signal light, the turn signal's primary function during daily driving is to alert surrounding vehicles, indicating that the car is about to change direction so that other vehicles can take note and avoid collisions. Whether turning, changing lanes, overtaking, starting, or parking, as long as the vehicle needs to steer away from the original lane, the turn signal should be activated in advance. This is a fundamental principle of safe driving.
