Question 7517

What is the function of the turn signals?

  1. To warn other road users when we are going to back up.
  2. To communicate with other drivers.
  3. To illuminate the roadway so you can drive more safely.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: To communicate with other drivers.

Turn signals tell others that you are about to move or turn toward that side. They do not illuminate the road, and there is a separate white light for backing up. In the image, the blue passenger car ahead has its right turn signal on.
