No person turns a vehicle from a direct course or moves right or left on a roadway until the movement can be made with reasonable safety, and then only after giving an appropriate signal, in the event any other vehicle may be affected by the movement.
The last 100 feet. Any signal of intention to turn right or left is given continuously during the last 100 feet traveled before turning.
When another vehicle may be affected. The duty to signal in the turning section turns on whether any other vehicle may be affected by the movement.
