A driver moves their arm up and down repeatedly with short, quick movements. What intention does this signal warn of?

Correct answer

That they want to stop the vehicle or slow down considerably.

It warns that the driver intends to stop the vehicle or slow down considerably, even when traffic conditions require it. Article 109 allows repeated use of the brake lights or this arm movement to give that warning. It is not the gesture for turning towards the arm or an indication of reversing. Signalling does not remove the duty to ensure the manoeuvre is safe.
