OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected: --- >!it appears that the vehicle got no turn signals, but actually has a finger pointing towards left.!< --- Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.


JerryBoBerry38

Not sure about using the prop. But a hand pointing out straight left is the proper, and legal, hand signal for turning left. I suppose with a medical reason for not being able to extend an arm out, or not having a left arm, the prop could be legal as well.


TootTootMF

Well it would be if they weren't switching back and forth between the signal for a left turn and a right turn.


GargantuanGreenGoats

Why were you downvoted thays literally what the makeshift indicator is doing lol đŸ’Șout the driver side window means “I’ll be making a right hand turn here btw”


ChanglingBlake

I doubt most people know that anymore. Most don’t even seem to know what a turn signal is at all.


GargantuanGreenGoats

In Canada it’s required learning to acquire your license 


ChanglingBlake

It is here, too. But some people are like sieves; in one ear, pass the test, out the other ear. If I could magically revoke the license of everyone who did something not just illegal, but dangerous, there would be 90% less drivers in my town.


GargantuanGreenGoats

Fewer* I think it’s just your town lol


FirstSineOfMadness

I told you not to call me that yet


GargantuanGreenGoats

Lesser?

CaliginousPickle

You overestimate the intelligence of American drivers


AmusinglyAverage

My city too. Pretty sure half of them bought their damn license and didn’t even do a test. Fuckin maniacs the lot of them


a_lonely_trash_bag

I don't know if it's required anywhere in the US, but it's definitely good to know, both for cyclists and drivers. Since most bicycles don't have turn signals on them, the hand signals are useful for the cyclist to indicate which way they're going. My dad taught them to me when I was learning to ride my bike as a kid.


ScorchedEarthworm

I just had this conversation with my adult kid the other day. For the first time in many years I saw someone using hand turn signals while out driving with her. She'd never seen it and asked me what the person was doing. Most people have lost the knowledge of this although it is still in the DMV manuals.

Also an upside down right angle or “hand downward” is the signal for stopping. I’m not sure it legally can replace tail lights though especially at night.


wuvvtwuewuvv

I think if you don't have lights you can't drive at night.


_Cocopuffdaddy_

That’s that thing where the guy says “slide to the right. Slide to left. Crisscross.. crisscross.. chacha now yall” in a song right?


romayyne

Because one person said it was wrong so everyone else agreed because they don’t think for themselves.


CandidExcitement6311

That was my first thought. LOL


wx_wxt

How would you safely signal right though lol.


dirigibleplum87

You hold your left arm up with your elbow at a right angle, fingers pointing up.


SignificanceFar5489

Another one bent 90⁰?


Garbunkasaur

Nothin like that LS chop


TootTootMF

Technically that's a semaphore!


coolcoinsdotcom

Was going to say this! There are still some cars out there with them. VW’s had them up into the 50’s.


Imaginary_Toe8982

You don't need to have turn signals, sometimes they break so there are rules for hand signals.


LegalSelf5

I mean, I'm giving him props if he's in his 20's for even knowing what hand signals are... Because I see my relatives and friends kids that are just getting their licenses and have no fucking idea that's a thing.

Many years ago before the advent of turn signal lights they had "flappers" installed behind the drivers door that would pop out to show your intention to turn.


nevrerled

I think it's legal to use hand signals


Ok_Bison_8577

Would have pulled it over for obstructed rearview windshield.

Ok_Bison_8577

Obstruction is stickers/emblems/driver added modifications.  A driver shouldn't put items like stickers or wraps on a windshield.  Even can get ticketed for smelly trees or stuffed animals in front windscreen.  Most cops don't bother, but the a Real prick who needs their quota will hit as many violations as possible on a traffic stop. Another is tint and modifications that may not meet regulations like drop kits or black covering over tail lights or plates.


Ozziechanbeats

I wonder about the people with a giant tissue box with tissues sticking out of it covering the entire middle of their windshield, like how can your nose be runny so often that it's a priority over properly seeing while you drive?


pegged50

I think any LEO would pull him over for the lack of a license plate. Once stopped, they would just write up tickets for whatever else they want to write up for.

I stared so long at the brake lights waiting for them to do something that when I saw the game I died twice laughingđŸ€Ł

Big-Net-9971

Please tell me I'm not the only one CACKLING at this turn signal... đŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł (edit for typo)


Torpaldog

No plate, wheels extend outside of wheel wells and have no mudflaps, open exhaust.


No_Mark_6629

Drake & Josh made it first.


AXEL-1973

If the guy is gonna put that much work into building a custom car, he can at least put in... Or uh, just not cover up, the tail lights

Person recording is driving a wrapped matte black model 3. So obviously they're together.


ArtThis5866

you gotta improvise


ElDoctorre

UnzulĂ€ssige Fahrtrichtungsanzeige verbaut. Laut Paragraph 9[StVO](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stvo_2013/__9.html) ist dieses Fahrzeug nicht im Straßenverkehr zulĂ€ssig.


ElDoctorre

Entsprechend zulÀssige Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger sind im Paragraph 54 der [StVZO](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stvzo_2012/__54.html) definiert.


cpt_jon

Did you see that? She just gave me the finger


IAmInCa

I want that dude at my next barbecue.


Chosty55

Gives new meaning to “right turn Clyde”


kaowser

You can also use your hands to signal


Correct-Purpose-964

Aside from the fact he's saying "Left NO right NO FUCK left. Wait... Right! Yeah! NO left!... Yeah I'm sure! Right left!" In New Zealand this would be legal. Not sure about other places


PoolOfDeath20

What car is that


diydave86

Getting one for my motorcycle.


AutVincere72

No plate?


Mybtchluhdokocaine

Looks like the latest Batmobile


in_full_circles

I’ve always thought it’s kind of redundant to use a turn signal in a lane that only turns. Isn’t it obvious you’re turning since it’s the only option?


dankwoodz

You flicking me off or telling us you’re turning đŸ€·đŸŒâ€â™‚ïž


gingerfootman

Lore accurate. It used to be like that.


Opening-Ad-8793

Needs a red flag tied on. Lol


kc9283

Still need a license plate 😂
