At least how far before a turn should you turn on your signal, according to the Arkansas guide?
- A 100 feet
- B 50 feet
- C 200 feet
- D 500 feet
Show answer
A. 100 feet
Signal at least 100 feet before a turn, a lane change, merging or parking. This gives drivers behind you time to react, and you should cancel the signal once the move is done.

- A Just after you pass through the intersection
- B Before you reach the intersection
- C Only after you begin turning into the driveway
- D You do not need to signal for a driveway
Show answer
A. Just after you pass through the intersection
If your turn is just beyond an intersection, start signaling right after you pass through it. An earlier signal could make other drivers think you are turning at the intersection and pull out in front of you.

Why should you avoid swinging wide when making a right turn?
- A A wide turn wears out your tires faster
- B A wide turn is only illegal at night
- C Right turns must always end in the left lane
- D The driver behind may think you are turning left and pass on your right
Show answer
D. The driver behind may think you are turning left and pass on your right
When turning right, stay close to the right and avoid crossing into another lane. A wide swing can make the driver behind think you are changing lanes or turning left, and they may try to pass you on the right.
