Signals are normally given by direction indicators and brake lights. What should drivers do before giving a signal?

Explanation: Before giving any signal, you need to use your mirrors to check what's behind and consider how other drivers may be affected by your signal. Sometimes a signal may not be necessary or you may feel it safer to give a signal earlier or later than normal.
