What is the hand signal used to indicate stopping on a motorcycle?
Using the hand signal by extending the left arm extended down, palm facing back, indicates stopping. This gesture communicates to drivers behind you that you will be reducing speed, essentially giving them enough time to react safely. It's a crucial manual signal that helps ensure the motorcycle’s intention is clearly visible when electronic signals might be inadequate or unnoticed.
