Should You Use Turn Signals When Starting to Drive Straight?

[VonJocelyn]

Should you use the left turn signal when starting to drive straight? In China, traffic laws require driving on the right side, and vehicles are parked on the right side of the road. When starting to drive, you need to turn left to enter the road, so the left turn signal should be used. Additionally, activating the left turn signal before starting serves as a warning to vehicles behind, bicycles, electric scooters, or pedestrians, helping to prevent traffic accidents. Below are specific guidelines for using turn signals: 1. Left turn signal: Use it when turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn. 2. Right turn signal: Use it when turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside.
