Zorluk: OrtaCorrect Use of Vehicle Signals

You are driving along an urban road and intend to turn left into an upcoming side road. In what sequential order should you carry out the following actions, from first to last, in accordance with the Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine and safe signalling practices?

  1. 1Check the interior rear-view mirror and the left exterior mirror to assess following and overtaking traffic.
  2. 2Activate the left direction indicator in good time to clearly warn other road users of your intention.
  3. 3Adjust vehicle speed and road positioning in preparation to make the left turn safely.
  4. 4Complete the left turn and verify that the direction indicator has cancelled.

Cevap

The correct sequence begins with checking the interior and left exterior mirrors, followed by activating the left indicator in good time, adjusting vehicle speed and road position for the turn, and finally completing the turn while verifying that the indicator has cancelled.
According to The Highway Code and the standard MSM (Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre) routine, drivers must always check interior and exterior mirrors before giving a signal. Signalling must occur in good time before adjusting speed or vehicle position. Once the manoeuvre is completed, confirming that the indicator has cancelled ensures that misleading signals are not given to other road users.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Check rear-view and left door mirrors
Situational awareness of following vehicles and vulnerable road users is established before signalling.
The Highway Code requires the Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre routine; observations must always be made before taking action.
2
Apply the left indicator well in advance
A clear, unambiguous intention is communicated to traffic ahead and behind.
Signalling in good time gives other road users sufficient time to react safely before your vehicle changes speed or position.
3
Adjust speed and position to commence the manoeuvre
The vehicle approaches the junction at a safe speed and on a proper line.
Physical changes in vehicle movement form the manoeuvre phase, occurring after the intention has been clearly signalled.
4
Complete the turn and confirm signal cancellation
The vehicle enters the new road without displaying a lingering, misleading signal.
Rule 103 of The Highway Code emphasises that signals must not be left on after completing a manoeuvre to prevent confusion.
