Under what circumstance should you use hand signals?
The correct answer is that hand signals should be used when electrical signals are malfunctioning. Hand signals serve as a backup communication method for drivers when their vehicle’s electronic turn signals fail. This ensures that the driver can still indicate their intended actions to other road users even if their electronic signals aren't functioning, thereby maintaining safety and clarity on the road.
