Section 8: Basic Driving

Signaling

The use of turn signals, stoplights, or your hand and arm shall give signals. Good drivers always signal their intentions well in advance.

SIGNALS ARE REQUIRED:

  • For two (2) seconds before turning.
  • For two (2) seconds before beginning any lane change.
  • Any time you pull to or from a curb.
  • When you intend to slow down or stop, your brake lights will accomplish this if they operate correctly and can readily be seen.
  • In addition, most cars have an emergency flasher system for use when your car is disabled on the highway. Use it!
