When the left turn signal of a car flashes, which way does the car turn?

When the left signal flashes, the car turns left; when the right signal flashes, the car turns right. Function of turn signals: Turn signals are the primary devices indicating a vehicle's dynamic information, installed at the front and rear of the vehicle. They are activated when the car turns, providing safety for driving. For the safety of the driver and others, please use turn signals as required to inform others of the vehicle's movement in advance, allowing them to make correct judgments. Timing for activation: When approaching a general flat intersection, depending on the road width, traffic flow, and current driving speed, the turn signal should be activated 30 to 10 meters before the intersection in the direction of the turn. For a right turn or changing to the right lane, the right turn signal must be activated; for a left turn or changing to the left lane, the left turn signal must be activated.
I've been driving for over a decade, and when the left turn signal flashes, it obviously indicates the car is turning left. I remember last month on the highway, a car ahead flashed its left signal, so I anticipated it would enter the left lane or make a turn, which gave me enough time to slow down and maintain distance. Turn signals are designed to ensure safety, and using them before every lane change is an essential habit. Developing this habit can prevent rear-end or side collisions, especially in heavy fog when light signals can be lifesaving. I also recommend drivers regularly check if their bulbs are working and get them fixed immediately if they're out. These small details add up to make the entire road safer and smoother.
