When turning, how much should a driver signal prior to turning?

  1. 5 to 10 feet

  2. 10 to 20 feet

  3. 20 to 50 feet

  4. 50 to 100 feet

The correct answer is: 20 to 50 feet

Signaling before turning is an important safety measure that allows other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians to anticipate your movement and make any necessary adjustments. Signaling too early can confuse other drivers and signaling too late can create a hazardous situation. While the other options may seem like reasonable distances, signaling at least 20 to 50 feet before a turn is the recommended distance by most states' driver handbooks. This allows for enough time for other drivers to see the signal, assess the situation, and adjust their driving accordingly. Signaling at the correct distance can help prevent accidents and keep everyone on the road safe.
