When is it required to signal a turn?

Whenever maneuvering a vehicle
When passing other vehicles
When driving on a one-way street
When withdrawing from a parking space

The correct answer is: Whenever maneuvering a vehicle

Signaling a turn is required whenever maneuvering a vehicle for the safety of both the driver and other drivers on the road. While it may also be necessary to signal when passing other vehicles, driving on a one-way street, or when withdrawing from a parking space, these situations are not the only instances in which signaling is required. In any situation where a driver plans to turn, whether it's onto a different street, into a parking lot, or making a U-turn, signaling is necessary to alert other drivers of their intended action. Therefore, it is always important to signal a turn whenever maneuvering a vehicle.
