Question Analysis
The Texas DPS Driver's Handbook describes standard hand signals used when a vehicle's turn signals or brake lights are not working. For a right turn, the driver extends the left arm and hand upward, with the palm facing forward. For a left turn, the left arm is extended straight out horizontally. To signal a stop or slowing down, the left arm is extended downward with the palm facing backward. These signals are required by Texas law and may appear on the Class C knowledge test.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: Turn right.
Extending the left arm and hand upward is the official hand signal for a right turn. The upward angle distinguishes it from the left-turn signal (arm straight out) and the stop signal (arm downward). Therefore, the driver plans to turn right.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: Turn left.
A left turn is signaled by extending the left arm straight out horizontally, not upward.
Option: Come to a stop.
A stop or slow-down signal is given by extending the left arm downward with the palm facing backward, not upward.
Option: Go straight ahead.
There is no standard hand signal for continuing straight; hand signals are only used for turns and stopping. An upward arm signal specifically means a right turn.
