I use hand signals all the time......but I'm sure 50% of the people out there wonder what they mean.

 

I only use hand signals when riding with other bikers.The signals are for the riders not the cagers.The lead guy signals & the rest follow suit,so all is aware

 

If i need to 'cut' someone off or just get out of the way I will use a hand signal and usually 'thank' them with a peace sign of some sort letting them know I appreciate their understanding. So far I have received positive response with this.

 

I only use one hand signal to cagers and that's usually when they are speeding AWAY from me!!! LOL!!

No hand signals for me , need both hands on the bars so I can out manueuver them cagers . Most of the time they don't see us anyway , hand signals are not going to be an improvement over blinkers . Used hand signals many , many moons ago when you did not have to have turn signals by law .

Only hand signals I use now are the V wave to other bikes or the one fingered salute . Very seldom do I use the one fingered salute but we all have our breaking point .

I'll bet it is higher than that.

 

I've often used hand signals in addtion to turn signals. Gets their attention a little more I think, even if they are not sure what it means,, they might 'see' you at least.
