Question 7139

As a general rule, turn signals are used to...

  1. warn of the vehicle's presence at intersections where no driver has the right-of-way.
  2. signal certain maneuvers, such as a lane change.
  3. warn that you are going to reduce your speed considerably.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: signal certain maneuvers, such as a lane change.

Turn signals indicate movements to one side, such as the lane change the blue passenger car in the picture is preparing to make. Hard braking is signaled with the brake lights, and at an intersection where you do not have the right-of-way, turn signals are not used to alert others to your presence.
