Question Analysis
The Texas Driver's Handbook states that you must signal your intention to turn at least 100 feet before the turn, and you must turn off your signal after you complete the turn. Signaling is required to communicate your intentions to other drivers, and leaving it on after a turn can confuse others.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: After completing a turn.
After completing a turn, the turn signal should be turned off to avoid misleading other drivers about your intentions. The Texas Driver's Handbook specifically says: 'After you complete your turn, be sure the turn signal is turned off.'
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: Before beginning a turn.
Turning off the signal before beginning a turn would fail to signal your intention to turn, which is required by law and is unsafe.
Option: In the middle of completing a turn.
Turning off the signal in the middle of a turn could confuse other drivers who may think you are no longer turning, and it is not the proper time to cancel the signal.
Option: If there is no traffic surrounding you.
Turn signals should be used regardless of traffic conditions to comply with the law and to maintain safe driving habits. You should not turn off the signal based solely on the absence of other traffic.
