Signals should communicate useful information to other road users, not become an automatic ritual disconnected from observation
1
Observe first
Decide who is around you and whether a signal will actually help them understand your intention.
2
Time the signal
Too early can mislead; too late can be useless. Signal when it clearly relates to the manoeuvre you are about to make.
3
Check it cancelled
After the manoeuvre, make sure the indicator is no longer giving false information.
