Trans Motauto World, Vol. 9 (2024), Issue 1, pg(s) 3-6
Turn signals are an important device on vehicles, with which we inform other participants about our intention when changing lanes, realigning, turning, overtaking, etc. The use of turn signals increases the safety of all road users. According to research conducted in the USA and Canada, one of the reasons why drivers do not use their turn signals is that they sometimes forget to turn off this device. In this work paper, special emphasis is placed on determining the position of the steering wheel at which the automatic turning off of the turn signal is activated when returning the steering wheel to the original “zero” position, as well as the position of the steering wheel when the automatic turning off of this device is not activated.
