English Hand Signal Guide
I bet you were wondering what those hand signals mean. Here is my interpretation based on the drivers giving them, culture, and clues from car positioning etc.
 | Waving - I know you! I will cease external concentration and input until you wave back. |
| Flashing lights (narrow street) - While not strictly a hand signal, this can cause confusion. It can mean: I am going first. You go first. I just bumped that control, ignore my randomness. |
| Flashing lights (motorway) - If worried looking: My wife is pregnant and I do not wish afterbirth on the carpet and fake walnut veneer. If scowling: I have severe diarrhea, please let me pass to attend to this. |
| Index and middle fingers extended from clenched fist - I am about to pick both my nostrils, please beware of random lane changes. |
| Middle finger extended from clenched fist - I have a very small penis, it is about this big. |
| Fingers curled forming a hollow tube, hand raised and lowered multiple times - My arm is spasming, I may accidentally tailgate you for some distance. Please brake sharply to remedy my fit. |
| Fist raised, other hand on bicep - I have lost control of this vehicle, please call 999. |
| Slaps own head - My brain has malfunctioned (General Protection Fault 0x15731b173), I am applying "head CPR" to restart. |
