Correct answer
- start to signal at least 100 feet in advance.
- start to signal at least 200 feet in advance but only if other vehicles are present.
- start to signal at least 200 feet in advance.
Explanation
Under Alabama law, you must signal continuously for at least the last 100 feet before you turn. At higher speeds, however, this may not be enough. At 45 mph, other vehicles will travel 100 feet in only 1.5 seconds, which is not very much advance warning to give those drivers. While the legal requirement is 100 feet, you should always signal your intentions far enough in advance to give other drivers plenty of warning.
