Motorcycle · Being seen
Strong sunlight is making your motorcycle's turn signal lights hard for others to see. What should you do?
Correct answer: Give hand signals to show your intentions.
Answer options
- ASound your horn before each turn
- BKeep relying on the signal lights alone
- CGive hand signals to show your intentions Correct
Why
When glare washes out your signal lights, hand signals give other drivers a clear, easy-to-see message about your plans. A horn can draw attention, but it cannot tell anyone which way you mean to turn.
