Road safety is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and healthy society. Without proper road safety measures in place, travelers can become at risk of injury, or worse, death. South Africa is no stranger to the dangers of roads, and the importance of proper road safety is well understood. One of the key elements of road safety is the proper use of signals.

Signals must always be used when turning and changing lanes. This is important as it helps other drivers to know where you are going and can help to prevent crashes. It is also important to use signals when changing speed. This lets other drivers know that you are slowing down and can prevent potential collisions. Using a signal before braking is also important for motorcyle riders, preventing them from being rear-ended.

One must also make use of hazard signals when it is necessary. When vehicle breakdowns occur, making sure to indicate this with hazard signals can help to prevent other drivers from colliding into you or your vehicle. It is also important to make use of indicators when driving through foggy or wet areas as this improves visibility and lessens the chance of a collision with another vehicle.

Signals must be used to indicate intention when passing. Drivers must always use the left blinker to indicate that they are passing another vehicle. This helps other drivers to understand the situation and prepare their course of action.

Using a signal can be the difference between avoiding an accident, or being involved in one. Knowing why and when to indicate is critical, and road safety education should focus on teaching drivers the proper use of signals, and the impact of not using them.

Knowing why and when to use signals is not only important for drivers, but it is also essential for passengers. Passengers need to be made aware of the importance of signals in order to ensure their own safety, as well as the safety of drivers.
