How far ahead should you signal your intentions to turn?
At least 50 feet
As soon as you decide to turn
At least 100 feet
At least 200 feet
The correct answer is: At least 50 feet
You should signal your intentions to turn at least 50 feet ahead of making the actual turn. This gives drivers behind you enough time to react and adjust their driving accordingly. Signaling at the last minute, as in the case of option B, does not give other drivers enough time to anticipate your actions, potentially leading to confusion or accidents. Signaling too early, as in options C and D, may cause confusion for other drivers due to signaling too far in advance of the actual turn. Therefore, signaling at least 50 feet before turning strikes a balance between providing ample warning to others without causing unnecessary confusion.
