Question 5165

Does turning on the turn signal always give you the right-of-way to make a maneuver?

  1. Yes, but I must perform the maneuver quickly.
  2. No.
  3. Yes, because I gave a warning.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. Your turn signal announces what you are going to do, but it does not give you the right to do it. If your maneuver would endanger or obstruct others, wait. When changing lanes, for example, vehicles already traveling in the lane you want to enter have the right-of-way. Signaling first gives you priority over a driver behind you in your lane who wants to move to the same side.
