Driver hand signals
When signal lights fail, or to communicate with cyclists, drivers use arm hand signals. These are commonly tested on the G1 knowledge test.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Left turn: left arm extended straight out the window.
- ◆ Right turn: left arm out and bent upward at the elbow.
- ◆ Stop or slow: left arm out and bent downward at the elbow.
- ◆ Use hand signals if your turn-signal lights stop working.
- ◆ Cyclists use these same signals to show their intentions to drivers.
