Why Should You Turn on the Left Turn Signal When Starting?

[SanAmara]

In China, traffic laws require driving on the right side of the road, and vehicles are also parked on the right side. When starting, the vehicle needs to turn left to enter the road, hence the left turn signal should be activated. Additionally, turning on the left turn signal before starting serves as a warning to vehicles behind, bicycles, electric scooters, or pedestrians to avoid traffic accidents. Extended content: The following situations require the use of turn signals: 1. Left turn signal: When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, the left turn signal should be activated in advance. 2. Right turn signal: When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside, the right turn signal should be activated in advance. 3. Entering a highway from a ramp: When a motor vehicle enters a highway from a ramp, the left turn signal should be turned on and the vehicle should merge into the lane without hindering the normal traffic flow on the highway.
