troll-feeding, senile asshole, blathered: Not if you're attempting a reverse turn with a trailer or caravan. I have a story about that but I won't bore you with the details other than to say that some of the onlookers were stunned into quiet applause. HGV drivers? Pah! Kid's stuff! Nope, senile idiot! It's TROLL's stuff! As someone in another ng mentioned yesterday, the clinically insane Scottish attention whore posted the very same question already in 2017! He does that time and again. The poor swine just can't get enough attention! Even posts the same questions separately to separate ngs, just so he can get more threads and more attention out of the same "questions" he keeps asking. BG |

There are these things called mirrors that don't require you to look over your shoulder. Even better: the little TV camera built into the rear of some modern cars which outputs a display to the car's computer screen. My new car has one of those. Does it display it in mirror language so you're used to the output like a mirror? If not I can imagine people turning the wrong way. It comes in very handy to make sure I don't run over the damn cat. For an animal supposed to be cleanly he loves to roll in the driveway dirt. Cats are the dirtiest creatures on the planet, despite the myth. They don't bathe, they just lick, which doesn't remove fleas for example. Imagine if instead of taking a bath or shower, you just licked your finger and rubbed it on your skin. Apart from taking 100 times longer, it would be 100 times less effective. I'm surprised your cat doesn't run off when it hears the engine. Every cat I've owned/known/seen is scared ****less of engines, especially when mine was sleeping in the actual engine bay when I started it. It's lucky it wasn't in contact with the belts. |

We all know which way to turn the wheel to make the car go left, and it's the same in reverse. And if I'm reversing looking over my shoulder, one hand isn't on the wheel so the phrase makes no sens The only thing I can think of is from the old days. There was a time when drivers used hand signals to signal left, right, or stop with their left hands. That might still be legal but I don't remember anyone using them. Not only are hand signals still legal, but a road test examiner may ask you to at least demonstrate one or more signal or recognize one or more signal as part of the test. Keep in mind that drivers are required to signal their intention to turn, slow or stop. If that can't be accomplished with vehicle's equipment, then hand signals must be used. Not just legal, but the law. Some people say that you should use hand signals in bright sunlight, bumper to bumper traffic and any other situation where your turn signals might be hard to see. Kids should be taught to use hand signals while they are riding a bicycle as soon as they are proficient/confident enough to ride with one hand. You might be surprised to hear that the NHTSA adds a 4th hand signal for bicyclists (Alternative Right Turn) and also allows either arm to be used for slowing or stopping. https://www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/nt...andSignals.pdf Very stupid to use any of those, since most people will misunderstand them. Let's look at your list.... "right turn" - on a bike, I stick my right arm straight out. If I stuck my left arm out and put the forearm up, people would think I meant "stop". There's apparently some stupid one in a car where you rotate your hand to mean you're turning the opposite way to the side your hand is on (since you can't reach right across the car). I would take that to mean "please pass" |
