There are these things called mirrors that don't require you to look over your shoulder. Even better: the little TV camera built into the rear of some modern cars which outputs a display to the car's computer screen. Better still the two proper CCTV cameras that I have on each of two vehicles, with a proper TV screen for the display. Bill |

For slowing down (aka "please pass") you flap your hand up and down. NO bait set out by the trolling sociopath idiotic and retarded enough that YOU senile idiot will NOT take, eh, Max Dumb?

I would often ride the ferry, and smell the salt and fish. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "Say what you will about the Ten Commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them."

You ranted about the same thing in 2017. Tedious. You remembered I did that. You're not right in the head. I remembered you whinged about it before. I had to look up the date. You keep several years of records?! Of course I looked it up on google. And why would you remember that? Most people remember only important things. It stuck in my mind for some reason. I also remember that my fifth-grade teacher was allergic to roses. Most people remember a ton of irrelevant crap. When I was a young lad, maybe 10 or 11, my older brother said to me: "I want you to forget that you ever heard of Edward Everett Horton. Never think of him again." Thanks, bro. That command and that name have been rattling around in my head for over half a century. |

There was a time when drivers used hand signals to signal left, right, or stop with their left hands. That might still be legal but I don't remember anyone using them. Not only are hand signals still legal, but a road test examiner may ask you to at least demonstrate one or more signal or recognize one or more signal as part of the test. Keep in mind that drivers are required to signal their intention to turn, slow or stop. If that can't be accomplished with vehicle's equipment, then hand signals must be used. Not just legal, but the law. Some people say that you should use hand signals in bright sunlight, bumper to bumper traffic and any other situation where your turn signals might be hard to see. Kids should be taught to use hand signals while they are riding a bicycle as soon as they are proficient/confident enough to ride with one hand. You might be surprised to hear that the NHTSA adds a 4th hand signal for bicyclists (Alternative Right Turn) and also allows either arm to be used for slowing or stopping. https://www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/nt...andSignals.pdf Very stupid to use any of those, since most people will misunderstand them. Let's look at your list.... "right turn" - on a bike, I stick my right arm straight out. If I stuck my left arm out and put the forearm up, people would think I meant "stop". There's apparently some stupid one in a car where you rotate your hand to mean you're turning the opposite way to the side your hand is on (since you can't reach right across the car). I would take that to mean "please pass" You rotate your hand anticlockwise. For slowing down (aka "please pass") you flap your hand up and down. Both stupid to use, most will think rotating your hand means "pass me" and flapping your hand is you telling them to slow down. |
