While driving on the highway, many motorists and professional drivers often use various gestures to communicate with each other. To understand each other on the road, you will have to study the special language of headlights and turn signals, the unwritten laws of the highway and other nuances.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are driving a car for the first time and do not yet know how to understand each other on the road, first learn the language of turn signals and headlights, which is available to absolutely all experienced drivers. First, find out how professional drivers use signals to signal each other for long periods of time while driving on the highway. Noticing how the driver of a car from the next row is trying to wish you hand gestures and beeping convulsively, keep in mind that this signal indicates any problems with your car and the other driver is trying to inform you about it. For example, your car may have flat wheels, a back door ajar, or a gas tank hatch open.
Step 2
To understand each other on the road, secondly, consult with professional drivers, including your driving school instructor. They will surely tell you how the signals are given, combined thanks to the turn signal beacons, headlights and the activation of the alarm. So, remember the most popular signal among drivers - when a car driving towards the opposite direction flashes twice with headlights, including only the high beam. This sign may warn that a traffic police officer with a radar is waiting for you on the highway after a hundred meters. Pay special attention to the uninterrupted short signals given by the high beam headlights, as such signs are a timely warning of increased danger along your route.
Step 3
It can be a pillar that has collapsed on the track, and a felled tree, an accident, and repair work, and a large unfenced pit - obstacles that every driver must prepare to meet. Thirdly, the unwritten laws of the highway provide for warning other road users about their future maneuvers, and many such signs are not included in the traffic rules. Therefore, when driving, always see if other drivers are making "secret signs" for you. Many of the signals relate to one of the most difficult maneuvers - overtaking the next car in front in the opposite lane.
Step 4
If you nevertheless decide to go to the car, be sure to turn on the left turn signal, as provided in the traffic rules, but leaving it on until the maneuver is complete, you thereby show the driving trail to the motorists that driving behind you is absolutely safe for them. But having noticed an oncoming car in front, as soon as you manage to line up in the right lane for you, immediately turn off the left turn signal and turn on the right one - by this action you will warn the drivers moving after you that such overtaking becomes dangerous for them.
