Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 10.190
Stopping and Turning: Duty to Signal
Before the driver of a vehicle [turns; partly turns; changes lanes; stops; backs], he has a duty to
use ordinary care to see if such movement can be made safely, and if he makes such movement he
must give a signal to any vehicle that may be affected by his intended movement.
If a driver fails to either use ordinary care to see if such movement can be made safely or fails
to give a signal to any vehicle that may be affected by his movement, then he is negligent.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
