Should You Use Turn Signals When Turning Right?

[GideonDella]

You need to activate the right turn signal when making a right turn. According to Article 57 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal must be activated in advance. When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal must be activated in advance. If a vehicle turns right without using the right turn signal, the driver commits a traffic violation. Failure to use lights as required may result in a fine and a deduction of 1 point from the driver's license. Proper use of vehicle lights: When driving a motor vehicle to turn left, change lanes to the left, prepare to overtake, leave a parking spot, or make a U-turn, activate the left turn signal in advance; When driving a motor vehicle to turn right, change lanes to the right, return to the original lane after overtaking, or park by the roadside, activate the right turn signal in advance; When driving a motor vehicle in low-visibility conditions such as rain, snow, dust, or hail, turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear lights, but avoid using high beams when following another vehicle closely in the same direction; When driving a motor vehicle in foggy conditions, turn on the fog lights, hazard warning lights, headlights, position lights, and rear lights, but avoid using high beams when following another vehicle closely in the same direction; When driving a motor vehicle at night on roads without streetlights or with poor lighting, turn on the high beams, position lights, and rear lights, but avoid using high beams when following another vehicle closely in the same direction; When driving a motor vehicle at night through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or uncontrolled intersections, or when overtaking, alternate between high and low beams as a signal. Use low beams when meeting on narrow roads or bridges or encountering pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles; When driving a motor vehicle near sharp curves, the top of slopes, or other areas with limited visibility, or when overtaking or encountering emergencies, slow down and sound the horn as a warning; If a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident on the road and cannot be moved, activate the hazard warning lights and place a warning sign 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. At night, also turn on the position lights and rear lights; When entering a highway from an on-ramp, activate the left turn signal and merge into the acceleration lane without obstructing vehicles already on the highway; When exiting a highway, activate the right turn signal in advance, merge into the deceleration lane without obstructing vehicles already on the highway, reduce speed, and then enter the off-ramp.
