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?

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. |
