Which maneuvers must you announce as a driver using visual signals?
Joining traffic
Explanation
To drive safely, it is essential to **signal all traffic maneuvers that include lateral turns**. This is because these maneuvers can affect other drivers and pedestrians on the road.
- **Observe and signal**: Before performing any maneuver, it is important to observe the traffic and the road, both directly and through the rearview mirrors. Once you ensure it is safe, you must signal to other drivers your intention to maneuver. This can be done through visual signals, either with the vehicle's lights or with your arm.
- **Arm signals**: To indicate a lane change, direction, or turn, you can use your arm. If you are moving to the left, extend your arm horizontally with your hand down. If you are moving to the right, bend your arm upwards with your hand also upwards.
- **Light signals**: For lane changes, direction, or turns, turn on the indicator light on the side you are moving towards. It is crucial to keep these lights on throughout the maneuver and turn them off when finished.
Signaling these maneuvers is fundamental for road safety, as it allows other road users to anticipate your movements and act accordingly.
