Turn Signal Safety

About the Training

A turn signal is the cheapest crash-prevention tool in the cab, and the most overlooked. This training reinforces signaling early and consistently, especially in a commercial vehicle where other drivers need extra time to react.

What You'll Learn

  • Signal early before every turn and lane change
  • Explain how turn signals give other drivers time to react
  • Apply consistent signaling in a large, slower-accelerating vehicle
  • Recognize the collision risk created by failing to signal
