HAND SIGNALS
Not everyone is able to or uses CB communications, therefore, hand signals are a must for group riding.
START ENGINES
With your right or left arm
extended, move your index
finger in a circular motion.
LEFT TURN
Raise your left arm
horizontal with your
elbow fully extended.
RIGHT TURN
Raise your left arm
horizontal with your
elbow bent 90 degrees
vertically.
HAZARD LEFT
Extend your left arm at
a 45 degree angle and
point towards the hazard.
HAZARD RIGHT
Extend your right arm at
a 45 degree angle and
point towards the hazard.
SLOW DOWN
Extend your left arm at
a 45 degree angle and move
your hand up and down.
STOP
Extend your left arm at
a 45 degree angle with the
palm of your hand facing rearward.
SINGLE FILE
Position your left hand over your helmet with your fingers extended upward. This indicates the leader wants the group in a single file formation. Usually this is done for safety reasons.
STAGGERED FORMATION
Extend your left arm upward at a 45 degree angle with your index and pinkie finger extended. This indicates that it is safe to return to staggered formation.
TIGHTEN UP
Raise your left arm and
repeatedly move up and down
in a pulling motion. This
indicates the leader wants the
group to close ranks.
PISSED OFF
Extend your left arm straight out
with your elbow bent 90 degrees.
Carefully extend your middle finger
to clearly demonstrate your
dissatisfaction with the other guy.
