Hand Signals - who does it?

[twobjshelbys]

I did a few times since I knew the back lights were fairly dim. I don't know if people don't understand them or what but when I signaled a left turn someone thought I was waving and waved back. I figured out noone knew what I meant. After than I used the frantic wave to simply get people's attention so they saw me and the car. It did feel at times like I was in a Klingon space ship with the invisibility cloak engaged. Only slightly more visible than a motorcycle.

I wish there was a well-understood hand signal for people that follow too close and want to get a closer look. Tailgaters while driving a Cobra are the worst.

The only time I use hand signals is when somebody tailgates me. I wave to get them to back off. No, it's not generally a one-finger salute.
