Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving a tram on tracks in the roadway towards a junction with traffic lights, where the tracks turn left; cars are driving next to us. In this situation you must signal your intention to turn left - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires every driver of a vehicle to signal an intention to change direction in good time and clearly. A tram turning left crosses the path of oncoming cars and of cars driving next to it, and their drivers do not know how the points are set. The indicator tells them about your intention and lets them predict the movement of the tram. After the turn you switch off the indicator. When turning, you exercise particular caution and let pedestrians cross the roadway you are entering.
