According to the Texas manual, for what minimum distance must you signal continuously before turning?
-
A.
200 feet
-
B.
50 feet
-
C.
100 feet Correct
-
D.
75 feet
The answer is "100 feet"
The Texas manual sets a 100-foot minimum for a continuous signal before any turn. Choice A reaches for 200 feet because that figure is the passing-return cushion printed in the same chapter: a nearby number carried across into the wrong rule.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 200 feet
Overshoots the pre-turn signaling distance the manual sets. This answer carries the 200-foot passing-return cushion from a nearby rule into a signal-distance question.
B. 50 feet
Falls short of the 100-foot minimum the manual requires for a continuous pre-turn signal. This answer reaches for a shorter rule of thumb some drivers apply inside parking lots.
D. 75 feet
Undershoots the manual's 100-foot minimum before a turn. This answer splits the difference between recalled figures rather than fixing on the printed rule.
