At what moment must the light signals be turned off when performing a manoeuvre?
Maneuvers – Lateral Movement
Explanation
To perform a maneuver safely, it is important to follow the **R.S.M. safety rule.** This rule includes three steps: observe, signal, and execute the maneuver.
- **Observe the road:** Before starting any maneuver, you must observe the traffic and the road, both directly and through the rearview mirrors, to ensure it is safe to proceed.
- **Signal the maneuver:** Once you have confirmed it is safe, you must signal to other drivers your intention to perform the maneuver. This can be done using the vehicle's lights or hand signals. The direction indicator lights, which are yellow and flash, must be on throughout the maneuver and turned off upon completion. This ensures that other drivers are informed of your movements and can act accordingly.
- **Execute the maneuver:** After observing and signaling, you can proceed with the maneuver. It is crucial to perform it at the appropriate speed and without endangering other vehicles or pedestrians.
Therefore, it is essential to turn off the light signals **upon completing the maneuver** to indicate that you have finished the movement and to avoid confusion with other drivers.
