Turn signal to be one means of communication with other riders while on the road. As an important communication tool, there are still motorists who use the turn signal is on time and function. In fact, if used correctly, the turn signal can reduce the risk of accidents and do not interfere with other riders.
Some important things we need to know about using the turn signal in order to use it properly:
Right turn signal, used when going to turn right or move to the right lane to overtake a vehicle in front of goal. Right-turn signal also serves as a barrier to the far right when you drive on roads just wide for two cars and ran into the car from the opposite direction. The rider should also turn on when the right turn signal will overtaken another car around the corner or run into other cars in close proximity. Turn on when the turn signal will overtaken in both these situations do not serve as cues for overtaking or delay because it was too risky.
Left turn signal, used when moving to the left lane, turn left and when to stop. We will move to the left turn signal lights are required in order to reduce the vehicle behind the vehicle speed and turn signal light can enter the left lane. However, if you drive on the right track and intends to overtake a large vehicle (such as trucks or containers) in front of you is moving at low speed, using different techniques. In addition to the left turn signal lights when going to overtake from the left lane, sound the horn when the left lane is only fit one car. It means that the front car knowing that your vehicle will overtake from the left lane so as to give opportunity and space to overtake.
When the right turn left or right turn signal should be switched on 5-6 seconds or 30 meters before the turn, stop or overtake. The goal is that other motorists can adjust the speed and can provide opportunities. The things mentioned above is a form of communication in the drive, so as to create mutual respect between the riders with other riders.
