So exactly what hand signals do you guys use? The one fingered salute?

j/k (I advocate safe, pleasant and polite motoring!)

Umm just to clarify, a right turn (from RHD) would be right arm straight out, and a left turn would be right arm out and raised/bent up at the elbow. I think I might have caused confusion before.. or made a mistake.

No no, that is the one I used. Long story short... we had a car that had no dashboard because it was being reworked. No airbags, no speedometer, no climate control. Nothing it was just metal with steering wheel coming out. So we had to roll down the window and use those hand signals, having no idea how fast we were going. Good times
