Will points be deducted and fines imposed for not using turn signals when turning?
1 Answers
For motor vehicles failing to use turn signals when turning, a fine will be imposed and 1 point will be deducted. Below is relevant information about turn signals: Overview: Turn signals are important indicator lights activated when a motor vehicle turns to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulb uses a xenon tube, controlled by a single-chip microcomputer circuit, with alternating left-right flashing for continuous operation. Turn signals employ flashers to achieve light blinking, mainly categorized into resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. Structural Principle: The resistance wire type can be further divided into thermal wire type (electrothermal) and vane type (spring-action), while the electronic type includes hybrid (relay with contacts and electronic components) and fully electronic (no relay). For example, the spring-action flasher operates on the principle of current thermal effect, using thermal expansion and contraction as the driving force to cause sudden movement of the spring plate, thereby connecting and disconnecting contacts to achieve light blinking.
