Is it permitted to use your arm to warn other road users of a maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, traffic regulations allow maneuvers to be indicated using either light signals or arm signals. For manual signaling to be valid, it must be clearly visible to other road users. A key point to remember for the exam is that in the event of a contradiction between a light signal (indicator) and a manual signal (arm), the arm signal prevails, provided it is perceptible. It is not mandatory to use blinkers if you are signaling correctly with your arm, although lights are recommended as they are more effective in low visibility conditions.
