Question 7110

- No, because you must not stick your arms out of the passenger car.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when light signals are not available.
Yes. As a general rule, signal with the vehicle's lights, and use your arm when you cannot use them, for example because the turn signal is not working. An arm signal is valid if you make it in the correct position and others can see it clearly, and you do not need to use the turn signal as well. In the image, the driver of the blue passenger car raises their bent left arm to signal that they are going to the right.
