You should use your signals at least ____ feet before turning.

• A. 100 Feet
• B. 50 Feet
• C. 200 Feet
• D. 150 Feet

Answer: (A)

Giving a signal well before turning lets others know what you plan to do and gives them time to react, which reduces the chance of surprises and crashes. The minimum distance you should signal is 100 feet before turning, providing a reliable warning at typical driving speeds. If you’re in heavy traffic, approaching intersections with limited visibility, or driving at higher speeds, signaling earlier improves safety. Shorter signaling (like 50 feet) may not give enough notice, while signaling much longer than 100 feet is extra caution but not required as a minimum. The key point is that 100 feet is the standard minimum you should use.
