Correct answer
- ACon los intermitentes o, si no es posible, con la mano.With the indicators or, if that is not possible, with the hand.
A sideways movement must be signalled with the indicators or, if they are not available, with the arm held out. This is set out in Article 109 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), which says that manoeuvres involving moving sideways or backwards must be announced with suitable visual signals well in advance. Although the arm can be used, the lights are preferred; however, the correct option is the one that allows both signals, which makes sure other drivers are properly warned of this change of course.
