Can someone remind me when hand signals are mandatory and when they are just a courtesy signal and therefore optional.
Thanks

I indicate when moving around parked cars whilst i'm in my car.summerdays said:I do not signal to overtake parked cars ... cars don't why should I ... I instead plan my line carefully and gradually move out same as a car would do. After all what else does a following car think you are going to do when you get to the parked car.
Stop &/or fly over the vehicle, I kid you not!summerdays said:After all what else does a following car think you are going to do when you get to the parked car.
