generally, I slow before a right turn. Most motorists have developed a habit of moving left at the last possible second to avoid a collision, at least that's what I observe on the freeway. Therefore, warning them that you are slowing may help avoid a collision.


nobody understands the bent left arm, they don't see it often enough, and most cyclists I see doing it don't lift their arm enough for it to look right. Much better to put your right arm out, and that signal is accepted in most states. Copying what a motorist would do because they physically can't use their right arm to make a signal makes no sense. I'm wondering if the person who thought of it first realized that it made no sense. "not my best work"
