## What should an Indiana driver do when a motorcycle signal is flashing?

The official Indiana Driver's Manual on in.gov/bmv says do not assume that a flashing turn signal on a motorcycle or motor driven cycle means a turn is coming soon. These vehicles have signals that are usually not self-canceling, and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcyclist or rider of a motor driven cycle is going to take action before you proceed. That signal-cue is separate from the already-shipped bicycle-path-cut extra.
