Do you flash to warn of speed cameras? Now there's a hand signal.

A camera will equal a reduction in speed so of course it is attributed to another factor. So by your logic let's scrap all safety measures.

Usain Bolt runs at 31mph, which sounds good but if he hits a child there's a 40% chance they'll die

Shouldn't make a difference who is driving.

Where my mum lives they tell you of speed traps on the radio in the morning and the majority of drivers will signal of a speed camera. How they catch anyone I don't know

I was driving an open top sports car along a country road heading towards a sharpish blind bend.

A women driver came around the bend in the opposite direction and shouted “Pig” at me.

I gave her the finger and yelled “Stupid Cow” back at her.

Just around the bend I piled into a huge pig in the road.

There's another hand signal I use, that of window open hand on the top of door frame above the roof line index finger pointing to the sky, twirl index finger around in a clockwise direction fast.

It's obvious what it means.

But hand signals run the risk of "driving not in control of your vehicle" such as with eating an apple. better just to flash your lights. Then you can only get done if the cars you flash are recorded as speeding. I flashed a Volvo Traffic Cop once before a speed trap :rotfl:

The universal hand signal used by truck drivers for decades is to give a thumbs down.

It certainly is.;)

There's no requirement for speed camera signs to be used. In some areas they put them up to be sporting. In others they don't.

I don't speed. Simple.
If somebody else is speeding then they deserve all they get. I don't know them, I don't care about them
