    Default Hand signals

    beside the good old left/right and stop hand signals,
    are there any others?

    i know if you pi$$some off or cut someone off you put your hand up

    and if some one lets you in, you show them an open palm
    same if someone double flashes you

    there any others?
    my mate says there's heaps but he hasn't told me all of them
    and Yes, this is a serious thread if anyone asking

    its always nice to know these things

    oooo so that's what that guy meant


    Tapping dash: Tapping your dash when another VN/VP goes by although my dash doesn't stick anymore
    Waving hand/finger: Moving your hand/finger from left or right to let people know you are letting them cross the road
    The Y signal: Putting your arms up (hopefully not while you are moving fast ) in a "Y" image, (like in the actions of YMCA) to ask the idiot around you what they are doing

    Hahah yeah, the Arm of Honour, also known as the Arm of Adonis. Used commonly in Italian families, such as my own

    Fist stuck rigidly out the drivers window, with a bend in the elbow. After a profanity beginning with C and ending in T is yelled, eye contact is maintained whilst the fist is slowly withdrawn. For added impact, the open palm can be used during withdrawal.

    Heheh my cousin was telling me this the other day.

    Seriously, I usually give a little wave on the top of my steering wheel if someone lets me in.

    When someone flashes me i put my lights on high beam. There are enough distractions on the road without having to put up with clowns flashing you. I lol'd so hard seeing a guy get pulled over after flashing.

    Only hand signal i give is a wave if someone lets me in or I happen to slow someone up/move across in front of someone.

    Dont have time to work out which hand signal i should give someone.

    I give a little wave, meaning: 'thanks for letting me merge/turn/cross/park in front of you', 'you can merge/turn/cross/park in front of me', or sometimes 'oops, i f*cked up there, sorry'. What more do you need?

    lifting 2 fingers off the steering wheel also means thanks for letting me through, this is mainly on a 2 lane road with parked cars on one side

    i see a lot of folks round my part flashing lights to say thanks for letting me through, like when they're oncoming and there's parked cars.

    i always thought flashing high beams in someones eyes wasn't a really thankful thing to do.

    I give waves of thank you, and sometimes the "I ****ed up, i'm sorry" wave

    There is no need to abuse other drivers on the road, the real tossers will hopefully kill themselves off, with any luck they might take some other tossers with them, unfortunatly instead they generally survive and kill the few good people around.

    any way back on topic, the only other signal I give is hazards on and a quick swerve from side to side after overtaking the car doing 30 or so below the speed limit that keeps speeding up every time a good spot to overtake comes around.

    It's like saying F**K you but its fun to watch.
