Your car's turn signals have stopped working, and you need to turn right at the next corner. Which hand signal should you give?
Three unselected left-arm signals are shown: arm straight out, elbow bent with hand up, and elbow bent with hand down. The card states that the driver needs a right turn after the electric turn signals fail.
Correct answer: Left arm out of the window, bent upward at the elbow
Why
New Jersey law requires drivers to know the three hand signals, all given with the left arm out of the driver's window: straight out for a left turn, upward for a right turn, and downward for stopping or slowing. Hold the arm well out so drivers behind can see it, and signal at least 100 feet before the turn. Have broken turn signals repaired as soon as possible.
