BDifficulty 2/5

As a general rule, how must you warn other road users of a lane change?

Correct answer

With the appropriate lights or, failing that, a statutory arm signal.

Use the appropriate light signal or, failing that, a perceptible statutory arm signal. Warn sufficiently early and respect traffic priority in the lane you join. An arm signal overrides a contradictory optical indication. Signalling grants no priority and does not by itself make the manoeuvre safe.
