We have had this discussion on many rides. When we asked our local police chief who was riding with us, his response was "I know which one is legal" When using your right arm to indicate a right turn your body can block the motorist from seeing it. If there is much traffic I like to use both. Steve
Alternating, I hope - with a lot of traffic it's really better to have at least one hand on the handlebars! :-)

This really puzzing. It's left arm bent at the elbow pointed up to indicate /right/, and left arm straight out to the left to indicate left. No wonder people get confused. Actually, another really confusing thing is people tend to lean forward, and that bent left arm isn't really pointed up at all, but rather pointed forward. So what's that supposed to mean? It's far clearer to stick your left arm out to the left to indicate a left turn and stick your right arm out to the right to indicate a right turn.
