  1. Only at night
  2. When changing lanes or turning
  3. When driving under 30 mph

Answer: B — When changing lanes or turning

Using turn signals is a key part of safe driving practices. In Texas, as in many other states, you are required to use turn signals when changing lanes or turning. This practice alerts other drivers and pedestrians of your intended actions, which helps to prevent accidents and ensure smooth traffic flow. By signaling before making a lane change or a turn, you provide crucial information about your movements on the road, allowing others to react appropriately. This requirement is in place regardless of the time of day, speed of travel, or location, emphasizing the importance of maintaining clear communication on the road at all times.
