If the indicators of a two-wheeled moped break down, are you required to warn other drivers before making a lateral movement?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations require lateral movements to be warned of sufficiently in advance (Article 109(1)). This is done with the direction indicator light or, if it does not work, with the arm: horizontal with the palm extended downward if the movement is toward the side indicated by the hand, or bent upward, also with the palm extended, if it is toward the opposite side (Article 109(2)(a)). That is why you must signal with the arm. Horn blasts are not valid for this: the horn is used only to avoid an accident, to warn of an overtaking outside built-up areas or in the cases provided for in Article 110(2). And it is not just a recommendation: warning of a lateral movement is an obligation.
