Your turn signals have stopped working, and you need to turn right at the next corner. How should you signal with your arm?
Blue A approaches its next intersection. The card states that A needs to turn right and the electric turn signals have failed. No arm pose is shown.
Correct answer: Put your left arm out and bend it so your hand points up.
Why
Arm signals also help when bright sunlight hides your turn signals, or in an antique vehicle without signal lights. Give the signal at least 100 feet before the turn. Drivers behind you need time to react.
