The driver's left hand and arm are extended upward. This hand signal (left hand up) means that the driver plans to:

  1. Turn left
  2. Turn right ✓
  3. Come to a stop
  4. Go straight ahead

Answer: B. Turn right

A left arm held out and bent upward at the elbow is the hand signal for a right turn.

Why this is the answer

The manual's hand signal list shows the right turn being given either with the right arm straight out to the right, or with the left arm extended and bent up at the elbow. Since the driver's left hand and arm are raised upward, that matches the second form of the right turn signal. The same list shows the left turn as the left arm fully extended to the left and the stop as the left arm extended and bent down, so an upward bend points to a right turn.

Why the other answers are wrong

Remember it

Picture the arm: pointing left means left, hanging down means stop, and bent up means right.
