Should Turn Signals Be Used When Selecting Lanes at an Intersection?
1 Answers
Turn signals must be used when selecting lanes at an intersection. Before changing lanes, turning, or pulling over to park, drivers are required to use turn signals as stipulated by regulations. Failure to use turn signals as required when changing lanes, turning, or pulling over temporarily in a motor vehicle will result in a fine and one demerit point. How to use turn signals: When changing lanes, the driver should first observe the rearview mirror to check for vehicles behind, assess the distance between vehicles ahead and behind, and the road conditions on the side. While observing surrounding vehicles, the driver should activate the turn signal to inform others. The vehicle should maintain a steady and smooth speed while the turn signal is on, and the signal should be turned off after successfully changing lanes. The purpose of turn signals: Turn signals are crucial indicators that are activated when a motor vehicle is turning to alert vehicles and pedestrians in all directions. They indicate the intended direction of the turn, either left or right. On highways, they also indicate the direction for overtaking or merging. When both left and right turn signals flash simultaneously, it indicates that the vehicle is in an emergency situation, alerting other vehicles to be cautious.
