    摘要: A vehicular drawing device is installed in the vehicle and draws, using light, an indication display with a predetermined shape on a road surface in a direction of travel of the vehicle. The indication display includes a start-traveling display drawn at a time of starting traveling and a turn indication display drawn when a turn indicator switch is turned on and the direction of travel is changed. The turn indication display is drawn with priority over the start-traveling display when the turn indicator switch is on at the time of starting traveling.
