Explanation
Before making a turn, you must signal your intentions at least 100 feet in advance using either your turn signal (blinker) or a proper hand signal.
This 100-foot minimum is required in most states and gives other drivers time to see and respond to your movement. Signaling early-rather than at the last moment-helps prevent confusion and reduces the risk of a collision.
