Practice question

How far should you signal before making a turn?

  1. At least 50 feet
  2. At least 75 feet
  3. At least 100 feet
  4. At least 150 feet

Answer: C — At least 100 feet

You should signal at least 100 feet before making a turn. This distance is important because it gives other drivers ample time to react to your intentions. By signaling well in advance, you communicate your planned movement clearly, which can help prevent accidents or confusion on the road. This practice is especially crucial in situations where visibility is limited or where there may be other vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians nearby. The 100-foot guideline ensures that your signaling is both timely and effective, promoting safe driving habits.
