Your turn signal is broken. How can you legally signal a left turn?
- A.Extend your arm up from the elbow
- B.Extend your left arm straight out the window
- C.Point to the right
- D.Flash your brake lights three times
Correct answer
B. Extend your left arm straight out the window
Why
Hand signals substitute for broken signals: left arm straight out for left, bent up for right, bent down for stop. Fix the signals promptly — hand signals are hard to see at night.
