What is the general rule for signaling before turning?

• A. Signal only after you start the turn.
• B. Never use signals.
• C. Use your turn signals well before the maneuver to inform others.
• D. Signal while reversing.

Answer: (C)

Signaling your intention well before a turn gives other road users time to react and helps prevent surprises. Activate your turn signal early as you approach the turn, keep it on during the maneuver, and cancel it after you’ve completed the turn. This practice improves safety because others can anticipate your movement and adjust their speed or position accordingly. The other options either wait too long, never signal, or apply to reversing rather than turning, which doesn’t provide the necessary warning.
