When performing a lateral movement, how and for how long must the maneuver be signaled?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, any maneuver involving lateral movement must be warned well in advance. The correct way is to use the direction indicator light (turn signal) corresponding to the side of the movement, or failing that, the arm. A key point is the duration: the signal must remain active throughout the entire movement and should only be extinguished once the vehicle has fully adopted its new position on the road. Signaling 'only with the arm' or 'only with lights' is incomplete, as both methods are legally valid, although lights are the standard.
