Deanna, that was really funny...people are so silly!

I am 43 years-old and back when I was a kid, I also learned the left arm bent signal for a right hand turn. So, I was very surprised when I joined this group for a ride last year and they signaled the turn by pointing forwards at the ground with their right arm extended. Later, my coach explained that it is easier for drivers to understand when we just point at where we want to go. It made sense and now that is how I signal as well.
