If a driver signals a maneuver with their arm and a different one with the indicator light, which signal takes precedence?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to traffic regulations, warnings given by arm signals are fully valid as long as they are perceptible and visible. In the event of a contradiction between a light signal (indicator) and a manual signal (arm), the regulations state that the arm signal prevails. This is because the arm signal is considered a conscious and deliberate act by the driver at that specific moment, whereas the indicator could have been left on by mistake or be malfunctioning.
