How should a lateral movement be signaled?
Maneuvers – Lateral Movement
Explanation
To perform a **lateral movement** correctly and safely, it is essential to **signal the maneuver** properly. This can be done in two ways:
- **Direction indicator lights**: You must turn on the indicator light on the side you plan to move towards. This is essential to alert other drivers of your intention to change lanes or direction.
- **Use of the arm**: In case the indicator lights are not working, you can use your arm to signal the movement. Extend your arm towards the side you are going to move to so that other road users can clearly see your intention.
Both forms of signaling are valid and necessary to ensure road safety, as they allow other drivers to anticipate your movements and act accordingly.
