Should You Use Turn Signals When Meeting Another Vehicle?

[Allie]

You do not need to use turn signals when meeting another vehicle. Before meeting another vehicle, you should follow the principle of 'look, calculate, and slow down': 1. Look: Carefully observe the situation. Observe the following: the model, speed, and load of the oncoming vehicle; the width and condition of the road; pedestrians, vehicles, and obstacles on the roadside; whether there are other vehicles coming from the opposite direction or behind that may overtake. 2. Calculate: Based on the distance and speed of the two vehicles, estimate the approximate meeting position and control your vehicle's speed to choose a suitable meeting spot. Suitable meeting positions should be: a) where the road is wider—if the road width is limited, choose a spot where both vehicles can safely pass; b) where there are no obstacles on the right front of both vehicles. 3. Slow down: Reduce speed. If conditions are poor when approaching the meeting point, further reduce speed. Do not proceed blindly; if necessary, stop first to ensure a smooth meeting between the two vehicles.
