Which action is required if you forget to signal before turning?

• A. Signal as soon as possible after starting the turn
• B. You should signal after completing the turn
• C. Signal only if there is traffic
• D. Only pedestrians require signaling

Answer: (A)

Turn signals communicate your turning intent to other road users. If you forget to signal before turning, use the signal as soon as you realize the omission or as you begin the maneuver. This quick warning helps drivers and pedestrians anticipate your move and adjust, reducing the risk of a surprise collision. Waiting until after the turn or signaling only in certain situations would not provide timely warning and could put others at risk.
