Passing target: 70% (14/20)
Driver A plans a right turn into a parking lot. She turns on her signal about 40 feet before the entrance, as she begins to brake. Did she follow New York's signal rule?
A is approaching a parking-lot entrance on its right. The card states that A starts signaling and braking now, and a dimension line shows about 40 feet from its front to the entrance.
Correct answer: No, because the signal must be on for at least the last 100 feet before the turn.
Why
The 100-foot rule gives drivers, cyclists and pedestrians time to see your plan before you slow down or move. A good habit is to signal before you start to brake, so the drivers behind you know why you slow down. You can use your turn lights or hand signals, and the signal must stay on the whole time until you turn.
