AMDifficulty 2/5

A driver extends the left arm bent upwards, with the palm open. What lateral movement is this hand signal warning of?

Correct answer

That they intend to move to the right.

A movement to the right, the side opposite the arm used. Under article 109.2.a, a horizontal arm with the palm down indicates movement towards the side pointed to by the hand; bending the arm upwards with the palm open indicates the opposite side. To signal left using the left arm, extend it horizontally; do not confuse this with extending the right arm. The signal communicates intent and does not give priority.
