Method Used To Inform Other Riders

If the police are a few miles up the road ii usually flash the lights once then 3 or 4 flashes after that, or if they are not far away i will flash the lights then the move my hand up and down to indicate slow down quickly

 

I take my left hand off the grip and motion up/down with palm facing down, after the obligatory headlights flashed If there's time i'll indicate to which side of the road the "device" is located.

 

I'm the same as capt. palm down hand I front of chest and move it up and down. Don't forget though it is an offence to warn other vehicle users of a safety camera. Now there's irony, obviously an unsafe bit of road coming up but you can't let anyone know!!

 

I take my right hand off the grip and motion up and down with palm facing down (arm half extended).

As Crispey says, it's an offence to warn other road users of an imminent speed trap........sorry, 'safety' camera!!

 

Thumbs down and direction gesture is standard military sign language for enemy location!

 

I'm the same as a few others wave my right arm up and down and flash lights, to some people thumb down may look derogatory, ade

 

can't say i remember ever seeing the thumbs down sign to warn me of speeders..if i had i might have thought he was warning me something was wrong with my bike

 

i wonder if it's the Hog he's referring too

 

Does anyone else tap the top of their helmet to signal 'blues n' twos'?

 

FTFY Hughsie before any "Helmet" jokes!

 

Alright, Lid then!

 

I tap my helmet if a copper/speed camera is down the road and I see another biker heading towards them, plus a flash or two of the main beam
If a biker is behind me and there is some roadkill/cardboard/bloody big hole in the road I stick my foot out on the side the thingy is and wiggle my foot., Usually give the biker behind an idea something ain't right.

 

There you go! I'm not the only one!!

 

Yup if they are activated and in a chase.

 

That's OK. if the other person is military / ex mil. Lots of people probably wouldn't recognise the gesture .... I think everyone will understand the palm down .

 

I'd probably think you had a bit of cramp if I saw you wiggling your foot.
It would slow me down and make me keep my distance though in case you fell off.
