Before turning, you should:
- Use your signal. ✓
- Turn the wheel.
- Increase your speed.
- Change lanes.
Answer: A. Use your signal.
Before turning, you should use your signal.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says drivers must use vehicle directional signals or hand signals to let other drivers know they are turning, and that the signal must be given at least 100 feet before the turn. That makes signaling the required step before you turn, so other drivers know what you plan to do.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Turn the wheel. — Turning the wheel is the physical act of the turn itself, not the warning step the handbook requires you to give other drivers first.
- C. Increase your speed. — Nothing in the passages says to speed up before a turn; the handbook's turning rule is about signaling ahead of time.
- D. Change lanes. — Changing lanes is a separate maneuver, and the passages only say signals are required when changing lanes, not that you should change lanes before turning.
Remember it
Think of the signal as your announcement: give it well before the wheel moves, because other drivers can't read your mind.
