When should you start giving warnings before carrying out a maneuver?
Maneuvers – General Rules
Explanation
To perform a maneuver safely, it is essential to follow the **R.S.M. safety rule.** This rule includes three key steps: **observe the road**, **signal the maneuver**, and **execute the maneuver**.
- **Observe the road**: Before starting any maneuver, it is crucial to carefully look at the traffic and the road, both directly and through the rearview mirrors. This allows you to ensure that it is safe to proceed.
- **Signal the maneuver**: Once you have checked that it is safe, you must **signal to other drivers** with sufficient notice. This can be done using the vehicle's lights or arm signals. It is important that these signals are made **before starting the maneuver**, so that other drivers have time to react appropriately.
- **Execute the maneuver**: Only after having observed and signaled correctly, proceed to execute the maneuver.
Therefore, the correct answer is that warnings must be initiated **well in advance of starting the maneuver**. This ensures that other drivers are informed and can act accordingly, thus ensuring safety on the road.
