Yeah, well good luck with that!



I tried getting the code to upload your pic, then went to the NZ Transport agency to get a copy of the motorcycle road code. I clicked on it and it took me to an update page. I clicked on the heading for the 'Official New Zealand Road Code for Motorcyclists' and it took me straight back to the index, ready to click on and see the updates again. Obviously very british, spend all day going round and around, getting nowhere on a government site, with no actual road code for motorcyclists available!



Sorry, could not get your pic, mate!

In the UK I think the left turn from a car without indicators was to rotate a straight right arm, funny when I bought my Bullet at the beginning of this year I actually gave a left turn hand signal without even thinking about it, must have been a throw back to an earlier life at least I have not tried changing gear with the break pedal

That's right Les, right hand out of window with circular motion to turn left. To indicate straight ahead it was left hand flat on the windscreen.
All a bit like being a tic-tac man at the races!

Well, here's a bit from the current UK highway code...

As a Colonial lad's initial arrival in 1965 London.
more or less ended up as a BBC dispatch rider for several
months based at Portland Place.They had about eight or ten
Matchless 250 G@s just like the one shown here. Seemed to
be poorly maintained with daily check of the miniscule oil
sump as always half empty. Am grafeful for being in this unique
time as soon familiar with the labyrinth of Inner London
streets that one would never have discovered othervwise w/
AtoZ map in hand. BBC's Belstaf gave inadequete protection
whilst unloading ships in Iceland that same winter though.

Having been disabused whilst being abused that the right angle arm signal was the appropriate signal I tried the waving up and down one. Seemed to me to be a bit bloody dangerous and destabilizing.
