Show answer
Correct answer
- CCuando el vehículo haya adoptado la nueva trayectoria.When the vehicle has taken up its new path.
Explanation
Under Article 109 of the General Traffic Regulations, in manoeuvres involving a sideways movement only that movement is signalled, so the indicator must be switched off as soon as the vehicle has taken up its new path, without waiting until you have passed anyone.
