Watch for backup lights when you are driving in a parking lot. Not only do they warn you that you need to slow down, they also tell you where you might find a parking space. 

• mean what you say  — your turn signal is designed to switch off after you have made a turn, but sometimes it doesn’t. Make sure that your signal has cancelled after you turn so it doesn’t give the wrong message. 

There are times when an automatic turn signal is hard to see — for example, if you’re pulling out from a line of parked vehicles. In these situations, use a hand signal in addition to the turn signal.

Your vehicle has different types of lights to help you see and be seen. The lights that you use most for communication are brake lights, backup lights and hazard lights. 

Brake lights  — these are visible when the brake is applied. When you see these lights on the car ahead, you know the driver is slowing down and perhaps planning to stop. Let others know you intend to slow down or stop by tapping lightly on your brake. This will activate the brake lights. 

Backup lights  — these show that the vehicle is in reverse, and the driver is backing up or intends to back up.
