This section emphasizes when and how to signal before turning, changing lanes, or merging, ensuring adequate warning is given to others. It also covers the importance of using signals well in advance—usually at least 30 meters before the maneuver—and cancelling signals after completing the action. Understanding and practicing proper signalling techniques helps prevent misunderstandings and accidents, making it a vital part of safe driving and a key requirement for passing the knowledge test.
