Question 8103

Does using turn signals help reduce accidents?

  1. No, because they are not part of the active safety systems.
  2. No, because their use is not mandatory.
  3. Yes, because they warn others of the maneuver.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because they warn others of the maneuver.

Yes. Your turn signal tells others what you are going to do before you do it, so they can prepare and you don't catch them by surprise. In the image, the white passenger car has its left turn signal on in a left-turn lane. Signaling your maneuvers is mandatory, and lighting, including turn signals, is part of the vehicle's active safety systems.
