When are you required to turn on the direction indicators and signal?
- When you approach a railway crossing or a pedestrian crossing.
- Only before a sharp curve.
- Only when you make left hand turns in intersections.
- Correct answer: When you are about to start driving or to turn your vehicle, or to deviate from your lane.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: When you are about to start driving or to turn your vehicle, or to deviate from your lane.
The direction indicator warns other drivers and pedestrians in advance that your vehicle is about to change its movement. You must signal before starting to drive, before any turn, left or right, and before deviating from your lane or changing lanes. Simply following a curve or approaching a railway or pedestrian crossing is not a deliberate change of direction, so it does not call for signalling.
