Hand Signal Nightmares

[Popoki_Nui]

I never use "legal" hand signals....I point to where I'm turning (right hand for rt turns, left hand for left turns). Most people don't know what "legal" hand signals mean so I figure I'm safer this way.

Well...I really hope you don't wind up in court, and worse...being scraped up off the road because the driver who mowed you down didn't know what you were pointing at. Bad news, either way.

Sorry...I have a thing about road safety; I've seen too many cyclists get reall, really dead because they and/or the driver didn't understand one another and their legal responsibilities while sharing the road. The cyclist always loses. Be safe.
