Which violation pertains to signaling a turn with insufficient distance?

Which violation pertains to signaling a turn with insufficient distance?

• A. Fail to yield entering a roadway
• B. No/improper turn signal
• C. Insufficient notice of turn signal (less than 100ft)
• D. Speed not reasonable/prudent

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is that turning signals must give other drivers enough advance notice before you maneuver. In New York, you’re required to signal your intent to turn at least 100 feet before the turn or lane change. When you signal too close to the turn, you’re not providing sufficient notice, which is exactly what this option describes. That is why it’s the correct violation for signaling a turn with insufficient distance. Other issues are related to signaling in general (not signaling at all or using an improper signal) or to other driving behaviors (like speed), but they don’t pinpoint the timing problem.
