What does the left turn indicator of a vehicle switched on indicate?
Controls
Explanation
The **left turn signal** of a vehicle is used to **indicate that the vehicle is going to change lanes or turn left**. This is important for maneuvers such as **overtaking**, where the vehicle needs to move to another lane to pass another vehicle.
- The **turn signal light** is yellow and blinks intermittently. It is mandatory on all motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers.
- According to the **R.S.M. safety rule**, when you are going to change lanes, you must turn on the turn signal on the side you are going to move to, in this case, the left for overtaking.
Therefore, turning on the left turn signal indicates that the vehicle is going to change lanes to overtake, not to park or stop.
