Question 1435 · Truck theory test
How does giving a late signal affect other road users?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
They may not have been given enough time to react.
Official explanation
Giving signals is a way of telling other road users what you intend to do. So, you should signal properly before moving off, turning right or left, changing lanes, overtaking, slowing down, or stopping. Signal clearly and in good time, and keep in mind that giving a signal does not give you the right of way. Late signals may confuse other road users.
