Answer: B — Extend the left arm straight out

The hand signal for a left turn involves extending the left arm straight out to the side. This method serves as a visual cue for other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians that you intend to make a left turn. It is important to use clear hand signals to communicate your intentions on the road, especially for those who may not see your vehicle's indicators. Utilizing the left arm in this way helps ensure that your turn is communicated effectively, promoting safety and awareness. Drivers should adopt this practice because it reinforces road safety regulations and enhances overall communication among road users. Familiarizing oneself with these hand signals is an essential part of driver education.
