Is the turn signal down for left or right turn?

[DanielaMarie]

Turning the signal down indicates a left turn. When making a turn, it's important to use the turn signal. Failure to do so may result in fines, penalty points, or even traffic accidents. How to use car turn signals: Generally, turning the signal up (clockwise) indicates a right turn, while turning it down (counterclockwise) indicates a left turn. When entering a highway, use the left turn signal, and when exiting, use the right turn signal. This is because entering a highway involves turning left, while exiting involves turning right. When merging onto a main road from an auxiliary road, use the left turn signal, and when exiting the main road onto an auxiliary road, use the right turn signal. Precautions for left turns: Before making a left turn, first activate the left turn signal, then pay attention to the traffic signal. Ensure the left turn signal is green and check for any oncoming vehicles running a red light before turning left. If stopping at a red light to wait for a left turn, you can shift into first gear. If you arrive at the intersection when the light is green, you can proceed in the original gear, or downshift if the speed is slow.
