Is the driver obliged to warn other road users of maneuvers?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a fundamental rule. General Traffic Regulations state that drivers are obliged to warn other road users of any maneuvers they intend to perform. This obligation is permanent and applies always, regardless of traffic density or if we believe we are alone on the road. The reason is preventive safety: you could have a vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian in a blind spot without having seen them. Signaling provides predictability and avoids surprises. Remember the MSM safety rule (Mirrors Signal Maneuver): first you observe, then you signal well in advance, and finally, you execute the maneuver.
