Limbs outside of cars
What is the big deal with drivers now hanging their arms outside of their
vehicles when driving? Its about time the police started to throw the book at these posers! It is an offence, ever since indicators were fitted to the automobiles. |

Maybe that's one of the reasons it's not an offence. And, how long haveyou been driving? Why "now"? This has been going on since I started riving, in the 60s. And I'm pretty sure it didn't start then. -- Bill Funk Change "g" to "a" |

I've occasionally used hand signals when I have a signal bulb go out, before I'm able to replace the bulb (uses the same bulb as reverse lights, so usually I get it replaced in short order). I'm sure only cyclists know what I'm doing, given that everyone else is oblivious when they have nonfunctioning signals. |
