Question 1 of 16
What are the three rules for using turn signals described in the AAMVA manual?
✓
Correct!
Correct. The manual lists three rules: signal early (well before the turn, so others don't try to pass you), signal continuously (keep both hands on the wheel and don't cancel until the turn is complete), and cancel your signal after you've turned.

Not quite.
Turn signals should be used every time a driver turns or changes lanes, not conditionally based on whether other vehicles are currently visible, since another vehicle could appear during the maneuver.
The correct answer is A: Signal early, signal continuously, cancel the signal after completing the turn.

Signaling after beginning the turn defeats the purpose of warning other drivers in advance; the rule is to signal early, before the turn, not during or after it.
The correct answer is A: Signal early, signal continuously, cancel the signal after completing the turn.

✗
Not quite.
Signaling has nothing to do with whether the vehicle is stopped or moving; the rule is to begin signaling early and maintain it continuously through the turn.
The correct answer is A: Signal early, signal continuously, cancel the signal after completing the turn.
