Online California DMV Traffic School Practice Test

After you complete a turn, what should you do with your turn signal?

Cancel the signal after completing the maneuver. Keep it on while driving for a mile. Re-signal every block. Turn it off only if there is another turn planned immediately.

Correct Answer:

Cancel the signal after completing the maneuver.

Explanation:

Signaling communicates your intended movement to other drivers, so you use it to warn of a turn or lane change and then stop signaling once that action is finished. After you complete the turn, you should cancel the signal because leaving it on can mislead others into thinking you’re about to turn again or change lanes when you’re not. This helps prevent confusion and potential hazards as you proceed straight or prepare for your next move. The signal should be used only for the maneuver you’re about to perform and then turned off; re-signal every block or keep it on for a long distance isn’t necessary and can confuse other drivers. You don’t wait to turn off the signal only if another turn is planned immediately—you turn it off once the current maneuver is done.
