    Huh. I had never considered this, but in countries where they drive on the left, they must use their right arms to signal instead of the left!

      This is a Dutch artist, and a Dutch landscape. The Netherlands is a right-side driving country.

      I guess your comment is true for car drivers sticking their arm out of a window, but for cyclists it really doesn’t matter. You can use both arms to indicate direction.

        Yeah I just point with whatever arm is nearest the turn or merge.

        No one acknowledges the actual correct signals at all. Pointing at least seems to work.

        Also I’m pretty sure she’s not giving a signal but getting ready to steal a hat of a cop that’s just offscreen.
