Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Motorcycles, due to their smaller size, only occupy a part of the lane in which they travel. Even if they make a lateral displacement within the same lane, they must always signal it. In this way, they warn other road users of their maneuver. It is essential to maintain safety and avoid accidents.
