In the car the hand signals are, IIRC, right arm straight out for
turning right, waved up & down for braking & moved in a circular
direction for left turn.
On a bike it's right arm out for a right turn, left for left & (I think)
right arm up & down for braking - much the same as on a pedal cycle.
Whether anyone other than fans of old vehicles would recognise any of
these is moot - they weren't a formal part of the test when I learnt to
drive.
