What is the mnemonic for left and right turn signals?
1 Answers
Left turn signal: when turning left, changing lanes to the left, starting, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn. Right turn signal: when turning right, changing lanes to the right, or pulling over to the side of the road. Related information about turn signals is as follows: 1. When there is a need to turn ahead: If you observe a need to turn while driving, be sure to activate the turn signal about 10 seconds in advance to alert vehicles behind to take timely measures, such as slowing down or stopping, to avoid collisions or even rear-end accidents. However, it's also best not to activate the turn signal too far in advance, as it might cause visual fatigue for drivers behind, potentially leading to 'road rage.' The timing mainly depends on the driver's judgment. 2. Function: As signal lights, turn signals primarily serve to alert surrounding vehicles during daily driving, indicating an upcoming turn or lane change to prompt other vehicles to yield and avoid collisions. Therefore, whether turning, merging, overtaking, starting, or parking, as long as the vehicle needs to steer away from the original lane, the turn signal should be activated in advance. This is a fundamental principle of safe driving. In daily driving, drivers most commonly overlook turn signals in situations like entering a roundabout, merging from a ramp onto the main highway, or in parking lots, where accidents often occur due to neglected turn signals during vehicle turns.
