When performing a maneuver that requires a lateral displacement, how should it be signaled?
Lighting
Explanation
To perform a maneuver that requires a **lateral movement**, such as changing lanes or direction, it is important to **signal correctly** to inform other drivers of your intentions. You can do this in two ways:
- **With the turn signals**: You must turn on the indicator light on the side you are going to move towards. These lights should remain on throughout the maneuver and be turned off once you have adopted the new trajectory.
- **With the arm**: If you decide to use hand signals, you must make them clearly and visibly for other drivers. For example, to move to the left, extend your arm horizontally with your hand down. To move to the right, bend your arm upwards with your hand also upwards.
Both forms of signaling are valid, but arm signals have more validity as long as they are performed correctly and are visible to other drivers. Therefore, the correct answer is to use **the turn signals or the arm** to signal a lateral movement.
