Right of wayQuestion 106 of 296

You signal that you will change lanes. What does your signal give you?

  1. The right of way over cars in the next lane
  2. Nothing. You must still check that the way is clear and safe
  3. The right to force a car to slow down
  4. The right to cross a solid line
Show answer

Correct answer: Nothing. You must still check that the way is clear and safe

A signal only tells others your plan. The law says you must yield to traffic in the other lane before you move over.
