Watch Hand Signals

When a motorist is observed giving a signal, the best rule for drivers of approaching vehicles to adopt is one of caution. Records of traffic accidents show it is unsafe to take it for granted that the signalling operator is going to do just what his hand signal indicates. It frequently happens that a driver is confused and gives the wrong signal.

Many drivers, also, give signals which are so uncertain that they might mean anything, and in such cases other operators should use extreme care until it is definitely evident what the signalling driver really intends to do.

He: "My ancestors came over in the Mayflower."

She: "It's lucky they did. The immigration laws are much stricter now."
