If you intend to turn left, are you required to give a signal?

When you intend to turn left, it is required to give a signal if your vehicle is fitted with turn signals. The purpose of signaling is to communicate your intent to other road users, which helps ensure safety and smooth traffic flow. Failure to signal can lead to confusion and may cause accidents, as other drivers might not be aware of your intentions.

The requirement to signal applies regardless of whether other vehicles are nearby, as it is a standard safety practice. Consistently using turn signals reinforces predictable driving behavior. Therefore, if your vehicle has turn signals, you must use them to indicate your intent to turn left, ensuring that all road users are informed of your actions.
