- No.
- Only if they are going to pass an oversized vehicle.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. Your turn signal tells others what you're going to do, but it does not give you the right-of-way. Drivers already in the lane you want to enter have it, so wait for a gap and move over without cutting them off. Planning to pass a large vehicle does not change the rule. In the image, the silver passenger car in the right lane has its left turn signal on, and the blue car already traveling in the left lane still has the right-of-way.
