Hand Signals for Motorcyclists

New Universal Motorcycle Hand SignalsNew Bike-to-Car Signals Touted

Safety is a constant concern for the motorcyclist. In the blink of an eye we could become the victim of a fatal accident.

One way to ride safer is by communicating with drivers of nearby automobiles. Many riders may be familiar with hand signals intended for rider-to-rider communication. But until now there has been no way for a rider to concisely relay their intentions beyond the use of a turn signal or horn.

Now there are standardized hand motions for signaling other vehicles. By adopting these new motorcyclist's universal hand signals we make motorcycle riding safer, not just for ourselves, but for all motorcyclists the world over.

Let's all promote safe riding and learn these important signals!





Thanks to Wes Garland at the Ninja 250 Rider's Club for this great parody!

"You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame."
