To signal a left turn, push the lever down (or up if the lever is to the right of your steering column). 1  You may be able to flick the lever with your fingers without removing your entire hand from the steering wheel. 2  But don't turn the wheel in the process. 3  It's best to keep your other hand on it, too. Someone may even make way for you. 2  Remember: your turn signal is to warn drivers that you don't see (i.e. blind spot) what you are going to do. 3  Use your turn signal a few seconds ahead of the turn you want to make.
