Does turn signal give you right of way in US? It usually is indication that you will switch lanes, but is there any rule that forces the drivers in the lane to be switched to accommodate you?
- vladvasiliu 5y agoNot from the US so don't know what the rules say, but I do agree with the parent's comment. "Driving defensively" doesn't mean "give them the right of way". It means that if they put on the blinker, they're probably thinking of changing lanes even though it may not be safe to do so (and don't have the right of way). It's the type of situation where it's better to be safe than right.
- walkedaway 5y agoNo, it doesn't give you right of way in any state in the US. But it doesn't stop drivers in the Bay Area from thinking it does.
