What should be done if a turn signal is not functioning?

If a turn signal is not functioning, the appropriate action is to replace the bulb or repair the electrical connection. Turn signals are essential for safe driving as they communicate a driver's intent to other road users, thereby preventing potential accidents. A non-functional turn signal can lead to confusion and increase the risk of collisions.

Replacing a blown bulb or fixing a faulty electrical connection ensures that the turn signal operates correctly, allowing the driver to signal lane changes, turns, or merges effectively. Regular maintenance and timely repairs contribute to overall vehicle safety and compliance with state safety regulations. Ignoring the issue or merely documenting it without taking corrective action could endanger not only the driver but also others on the road.
