Most of us know the common
driving signs (left arm extended
= left turn, left arm crooked up
at elbow = right turn {yes, for
American, left-handed-steering
autos}, etc.) How about:
1)Arm out, fist horizontal, thumb
protruding. Now waggle thumb up
and down by rotating wrist = your
turn signal
is on.
2)Arm out, fist clenched. Now
repeatedly open fingers and
reclench fist = your lights (or
high beams) are on.
3)Point at road, then hold hand
flat, palm down = your tire is
going flat.
4)Finger (fore) pointed up and
rotating = police up ahead (for
traffic going the other way)
Passing a driving sign language
test would be required prior to
issuance of a license.

Good idea, no need for added gadgets to your car. |

[UnaBubba] The problem with the existing sign language is that it (for the most part) consists of only one word, and it's not one generally used in polite company! |

I do those and more - including applause when a dolt in front of me 'finally' moves. |

I prefer the "ironic thumbs-up." |

As in, "Hey you are a cool guy because you tail-gated me for 20 minutes before you finally decided to pass me on the windiest part of the road. Good work." |
