![]() In relation to everyone giving way to right at the same time, yes is correct but your a poor driver not to be noticing the other persons rights actions. I also put my hazards before reversing onto a drive or palling up before I use the indicator to which way im going So many people start breaking in front of me and I say to myself or my passenger the person is turning off. What most people forget to do is to indicate before you break. I use my finger and stick it up or down and rotate when trying to tell people I’m turning around. I roll my hand over in a circle motion to say, I’ve left you go/come/given way and now your going to slow. I use my hand to put forward if I’m going straight across. Look over the shoulder where the traffic is coming from, (so in the UK look over your right shoulder) then look forward and give a clear 90 degree signal for 5 seconds, approximately 15-20 seconds before you wish to turn, make. Your hand signal could easily be mis-interpreted as beckoning other drivers, i.e. As cyclists, you need to tell your fellow riders and other road users which direction you are turning. In normal circumstances you use your indicators to signal if you are turning left or right, not straight. In any case, I think it would actually be counter-productive and potentially dangerous: I have no idea what a 'straight ahead' signal would be. In your first example, it probably would be useful, even if other drivers don't understand the meaning - it would at the least draw attention and would make me think that something out of the ordinary was happening, so perhaps I ought to increase the distance to the car in front, or at least be ready for something to happen.įor your second example, I googled hand signals, but it only came back with ones for left, right and slow/stopping. I think it is important to realise that if you are using them, other people might not (probably won't) understand what you mean. just a guess, but I wouldn't expect anyone under the age of 60 to know them - possibly unless they are employed as a driver (maybe). I suspect most drivers would be similar to me in this regard. ![]() ![]() I am vaguely aware that they are (were?) a thing, having heard stories about them from my grandad, but I probably wouldn't be able to correctly interpret the intended meaning. 10, 2024 Asian American communities around the U.S. I have *never* seen anyone using arm/hand signals. I'm mid-30s and been driving since I was like 19-20 or so. ![]()
