can someone tell me how you use your hands for a turn signal on a motorcycle, because I am just learning it a?

Answer 1

Mostly good answers, and like Byron says, they don't remember anyhow. Most can't tell a signal from a "wave". But, because I think they should, I use hand signals at the same time as the blinker lights. I figure it's easier to see an arm sticking out than it is to see a little orange yellow light. Especially when the sun is at my back. It makes me feel I tried to avoid "I didn't see you". I've heard that too many times.

Answer 2

California handbook recommends against the hand signals for motorcycles (because how the heck do you hold the clutch lever while giving a hand signal?). Use your motorcycle's turn signals. The switch for the turn signals is at your left thumb.

Answer 3

Mostly correct answers here. But keep in mind that a lot of cagers don't have a clue as to what the hand signals mean. Especially for a right hand turn.

Answer 4

Left arm pointing left. I'm turning left
Left arm pointing up. I'm turning right
Left arm pointing down. I plan to stop

But like cars, most motorcycles have turn signals.
