What does a vehicle’s left turn indicator, when switched on, indicate?

Correct answer

That it is going to change lanes to overtake.

When switched on, a vehicle’s left turn indicator may indicate that the driver intends to move to the left to overtake. It is not used to signal parking, stopping or an intention to brake. This use of the indicator communicates to other drivers that the vehicle is preparing to move left, whether to overtake another vehicle, move into a faster lane, or prepare for a left-hand exit or turn on divided roads or motorways.
