What are turn signals used for?

  1. They are not very useful except on roads outside built-up areas.
  2. To communicate with other drivers.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: To communicate with other drivers.

Turn signals let others know you're about to move to the right or left and give them time to anticipate your maneuver. You use them both in town and on the open road. In the image, the green dashboard indicator shows that your left turn signal is on.
