Explanation
When a driver extends their left hand and arm upward, it is a hand signal indicating a right turn. You should respond just as you would to an activated right-turn signal - slow down and be prepared to yield so the vehicle can turn safely. It's important to learn and recognize standard hand-and-arm signals, as they are used when a vehicle’s turn signals are not working and are also commonly used by cyclists to communicate their intentions.
