I never direct a car when it is "all clear" to pass me. If something bad happened, I could not live with the guilt, and they/survivors might even hold me liable.
I just hold down my end of the bargain by riding predictably and obeying traffic laws in that situation and then I leave it up to the driver behind me to decide for his or herself when to pass. I can't make that decision for them. As for hand signals, I use them pointing left arm fir left turn , right arm for right turn, left akimbo with hand down and palm back for stop. This is legal in Maryland. I remember reading in a bike forum that a cyclist said he didn't see any traffic around him at an intersection but he chose to hand signal anyway. Right after that turn a driver pulled along side him and told him that his hand signal just saved his life. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
