How do you show other drivers by hand that you are about to stop?

Answer options

Why

To signal that you are stopping or slowing down, put your left arm out of the window and angle it downward so the hand points at the ground. In the picture, an arm held straight out means a left turn and an arm bent upward means a right turn.
