What is the assessment for a hand signal that continues after a turn has begun?

In the context of hand signaling while driving, if a driver's hand signal continues after a turn has commenced, it typically indicates a misunderstanding of proper signaling practices. The ideal practice is to use hand signals effectively to communicate intentions before and during the turn, but the signal should not extend unnecessarily during the actual maneuver.

The assessment of "Fair" reflects that while the driver is attempting to signal and is partially adhering to safe driving practices, there is room for improvement. The continuation of the signal beyond the point of the turn suggests the driver may be distracting other road users or not fully aware of the appropriate time to cease signaling. Therefore, a "Fair" assessment acknowledges the effort while recognizing the need for better execution in line with standard driving protocols.

In contrast, a higher assessment such as "Good" or "Pass" would imply that the driver executed the signaling correctly throughout the maneuver without any inappropriate continuation afterward. A "Fail" would suggest a complete lack of proper signaling or severe errors that significantly compromise safety. Thus, "Fair" accurately reflects the situation where there is an attempt to signal but not executed in the best manner possible.
