What is in this topic

One question, worked through

A real-style question from this topic, with its full explanation. Take your time here; on the day you will have 15 seconds.

When must you signal a manoeuvre or a change of direction?

  1. Only for manoeuvres, not for turns
  2. In good time, before carrying it out
  3. At the moment you start to move
  4. Only if another vehicle is close enough to be affected

The answer

B — In good time, before carrying it out

Why

Art. 13: before carrying out a manoeuvre or a movement that requires a sideways displacement or causes a change of direction, the driver must make the intention known in good time with the indicators.

Why not

  • A Art. 13 covers manoeuvres and any movement that changes direction or requires a sideways shift, turns included.
  • C Art. 13 says in good time, before the movement, so that others can use the information.
  • D The duty does not depend on who you can see; a vehicle you have not seen is the one that needs the signal.
