As a general rule, is it mandatory to signal your maneuvers?
Maneuvers – General Rules
Explanation
To perform a maneuver safely, it is essential to **notify other drivers** of your intentions. This can be done in two ways: **using the vehicle's light signals** or, if these are not possible, **using your arm**.
- **Light signals:** They must be on throughout the maneuver and turned off once it is completed. These signals are a clear and visible way to communicate your intentions to other drivers.
- **Arm signals:** They are a valid alternative and, in some cases, have more validity than light signals, as long as they are performed correctly and are visible to other drivers. It is important to make these signals with enough anticipation so that other drivers can react appropriately.
The **R.S.M. safety rule** (Observe, Signal, Maneuver) emphasizes the importance of observing the road, signaling the maneuver, and then performing it safely. Correctly notifying is crucial to avoid accidents and ensure smooth and safe traffic flow on the road.
