Using turn signals incorrectly poses a risk of accidents for the driver and other road users. In addition, this is also a violation of the law and will be handled according to regulations. Below are some mistakes when using turn signals that motorcyclists must avoid.
Forgot to turn on the turn signal
This is a mistake that many motorbike users make. Not using turn signals when changing direction, lanes, etc. will make it difficult for vehicles behind to predict unexpected situations that may occur. This is especially dangerous when traveling in crowded, complicated areas. In addition, this is also a violation and will be handled according to current law.
Forgot to turn off the turn signal
Forgetting to turn off the turn signal is also a mistake that must be avoided. When the vehicle owner forgets to turn off the turn signal, the vehicles behind will be confused and misled by the “false signal”. This can lead to unnecessary collisions.
Turn on the wrong turn signal
Turning on the wrong turn signal is not an uncommon mistake. In many cases, vehicle owners turn on the left turn signal but turn right, or turn right but turn left. This poses a great risk of accidents, because other road users will be surprised and unable to handle the situation. Therefore, when participating in traffic, motorcyclists need to be focused and careful, using turn signals properly to ensure safety.
