Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

Switching on the indicator does not automatically give you priority to make a manoeuvre. Under Article 108 of the General Traffic Regulations, drivers must signal their manoeuvres, but this does not mean they have priority over other road users. You must give way and make manoeuvres safely: the indicator only shows your intention to change direction or make a manoeuvre, and it does not free you from checking that the road is clear to do it.
