I agree somewhat. For those who've never been introduced to hand-signals (even though they've been around for 100 years or so) the right turn sign is alien to them, but I know it's part of thedrivers test up here, so I think most Canadian cagers have some familiarity with them. Since right hand signals are neither accepted nor recognized here, I'd think Canadian cyclists/motorists should stick to the standard and established signals. After all, we don't wanna confuse the poor cagers any more than we need to. They already have makeup, breakfast, lunch, cell phone, CD player, navigational system, kids and maybe a spouse or co-worker distracting them as it is.
