A driver intends to join traffic with their vehicle from a parking spot. How must they warn of the maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To join traffic safely, drivers must follow the MSM rule (Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre). Before making any lateral movement, it is mandatory to warn other road users well in advance. The regulatory way is to use the luminous signaling of the corresponding direction indicator (turn signal) or, failing that, use hand signals. It is incorrect not to signal even if the road appears clear (signaling is always mandatory as a habit and for preventive safety), and the use of acoustic signals (horn) is not permitted for this maneuver unless to avoid an imminent accident.
