The moped rider moves their arm alternately up and down with short, rapid movements, passing through the pose shown. What does this indicate?

Correct answer

An intention to stop the vehicle or slow considerably.

Moving the arm alternately up and down with short, rapid movements warns of an intention to stop or slow considerably under Article 109.2.c. The described movement matters: holding the left arm still and horizontal with the palm down can warn of a lateral movement to the left. The signal does not grant permission to overtake.
