When should you use your turn signals?

When changing lanes
When turning
When you are slowing down
When you are merging onto a highway

The correct answer is: When changing lanes

Using your turn signals is important to indicate to other drivers your intentions on the road. While turning is the most obvious time to use signals, you should also use them when changing lanes. This is so other drivers are aware of your movements and can adjust accordingly. It is not necessary to use turn signals when slowing down or merging onto a highway as these actions do not involve changing lanes or making a turn. Keep in mind that it is important to use turn signals in any situation where you are changing directions or lanes on the road.
