WHEN STOPPING
If the road is blocked and you are stopping in such a, way as to make it impossible for any other vehicle to pass you, extend th-- right forearm vertically upwards with the back of the hand towards overtaking traffic Finally, if you are slowing 1 down and wish to signal to those behind you that they should also diminish speed, wave the forearm up and down from the horizontal downwards with the palm of the hand towards the ground as if fanning the air towards the side of the car.
All these signals are really quite distinct from one another, and if properly made, should not be capable of being misunderstood. They can, with advantage, be practised from an armchair in front of a large mirror Above all be definite. If every road user made clear and unmistakable signals in plenty of time there would be fewe r accidents and less bad feeling between one vehicle driver and another. —By H.E.B. in "The Motor."
