Improper signalling blamed for thousands of crashes nationwide
A safety bulletin cited by Secretary of State Edward J. Hughes says lack of turn signals caused over 28,000 motor vehicle accidents last year, with 260 deaths and 36,000 injuries. The Revised Motor Vehicle Act requires signals within 100 feet of turns and specifies official hand signals, while mechanical devices are required where hand signaling is impractical.
