You’re required to use your turn signals to let other drivers and road users know your intentions. Signaling is also an important grading criteria on the driving test since improper signaling can mislead other drivers and result in an accident.

Turn signals are amber lights on your vehicle that flash to indicate that you’re about to change road positioning or make a turn. You must use your turn signals to signal your intentions whenever:

• turning or changing direction
• pulling up next to the curb
• changing lanes
• making a U-turn or three-point turn
• entering the flow of traffic
• pulling out from a stationary position.
