Practice question

What can be inferred about a driver who does not use signals at intersections?

  1. They are aware of traffic rules
  2. They may cause accidents
  3. They are cautious and careful
  4. They are following the law

Answer: B — They may cause accidents

A driver who does not use signals at intersections may cause accidents because signaling is a critical part of communicating intentions to other road users. When a driver fails to use turn signals, other drivers and pedestrians are left uncertain about their next move. This lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings and collisions, as other road users may not anticipate the driver's actions. Proper signaling is essential for maintaining safety on the road, ensuring that all parties are aware of each other's movements and intentions. Therefore, not using signals can significantly increase the risk of accidents at intersections where clear communication is vital for safe navigation.
