Vintage riding with hand signals. How you get on?
Modern drivers don't even know what indicators are ffs. The standard of driving has gone down hill dramatically IMHO of course.
Stay safe out there.

I bet the 'I'm turning left' hand signal for a car driver would confuse most!

I was in the middle of the lane, 10 metres from turning right with my arm out in about the most exaggerated manner possible. There were solid white lines and the road was an s bend at this point.
Just as I was turning right, the idiot behind overtook and gave me a dirty look!
Assume everyone is an idiot. Most aren't (obviously) but assume they are.

Hmm. Do vintage BMW riders even use hand signals?

As an add to my earlier post.I see lots of motorists with there indicators left on by mistake,unfortunetly lots of them are scooterists riding Ve*pa's.If a scooterist leaves his/her indicator on ,especially the right indicator it could mean that someone in a car pulls out in front of you thinking you are about to turn right.
