Should Turn Signals Be Used for Parallel Parking?
1 Answers
Turn signals should be used for parallel parking. In the Subject 2 driving test, turn signals are required in only three situations: when starting the vehicle, when exiting during parallel parking, and when starting on a slope. In all these cases, the left turn signal is used. Below are relevant details: Basic test items for Subject 2 include slope parking and starting, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through speed-limited narrow gates, navigating continuous obstacles, shifting gears within 100 meters, and driving on bumpy roads. The purpose of turn signals is to alert pedestrians or other vehicles of the intended turning direction, either left or right. On highways, they also indicate overtaking and lane-changing directions. When both left and right turn signals flash simultaneously, it indicates an emergency situation to alert other vehicles. Turn signals are crucial indicators activated when a motor vehicle turns to notify surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulbs use xenon tubes, controlled by a microcontroller circuit for alternating left-right flashing without interruption. Turn signals employ flashers to achieve blinking lights, mainly categorized into three types: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type.
