Question 35, You want to move off from a parked position. The road is busy with traffic passing from behind. You should:-Wait without signalling for a safe gap in the traffic.
Give a signal and move away as soon as someone flashes you.
Signal while waiting for a gap in the traffic.
Edge your way into the traffic until someone gives way to you.The correct answer apparently is A, not C. Whatever happened to MSM?
this is accepted practice for learners now, you signal once you have seen the gap to pull into, this is especially true for large vehicle tests, if you signal while waiting it is seen as intimidating other road users into giving way. absolute rubbish if you ask me
Another bad decision by the DSA. In my day we were taught to signal our intentions, but the current policy in relation to starting off merely encourages new drivers to signal their actions rather than their intentions. Hence we now have a generation of new motorists who aren’t really sure when, and if, to signal as exemplified by a current thread in the PDF concerning roundabouts.
Err, do I signal my intention, or do I signal my action. 
I can’t remember so I won’t bother in that case. :roll:
