When someone has stopped and thier helmet is by their back tyre it means they have broken down.

Also another police thing is to swirl your finger round like a siren. Police

A raised hand with a clenched fist with an upright middle index finger usually means " Fuck off " , e.g. Middle Finger

If a copper fails to give chase after you overtake them, it's customary to flap your arms repeatedly and emit chicken noises.

I usually wave my hand up and down to caution others to slow down, or whirl my hand above my lid to signify old bill.

Arm out straight with horizontal arm means slow down; could be police, speed trap or other hazard (ie accident in the road).

While I would take a thumbs down (Or thumbs up) as well as swirled finger to mean police ahead.

A trucker giving me a thumbs up has saved me a couple of times Thumbs Up.

I generally use the 'waving the finger around like a siren' signal to other bikers...shame they don't bloody signal at all to tell me there are coppers sitting at every roundabout on the way home from work! Evil or Very Mad

So, basically any waving of hands means slow down? Smile

Giving someone the thumbs up when you see them sat at the side of the road and them responding with thumbs up or down depending on whether they've broken down or not is another.

Do that but sometimes the thumbs up is difficult to see (from when I've been at the side of the road Wink) so I have been known to do the O sign with the finger and thumb (for okay - from diving).

Upon riding up next to some fine looking tart in a car:
Tap on the drivers window, point at your crotch & then at the side of the road. This indicates to the female that you'd like her to pull over & blow you senseless... And yes, it does work..







..however, it was my gf who was in the car Smile







(waiting for some smartass to ask who was on the bike...)

If there's a big pothole or bad road surface i'll go around it and point, so the bike behind me knows.
I do the whirling of the finger for fuzz, unless they are close and might see it, then i wave my arm low.
I open and close hand to tell someone their indicator is still on.
I do nod at other bikers, but if theres alot of them i stick my leg out **NOTE Do not do this if another bike maybe about to overtake you**
If someone pulls over to let me past on the road, i'll flash my indicators one at a time to say thanks.
And when a lorry driver beeps his horn at me i usually blow him a kiss xxx

Yep the thumbs down is the universal rozzer/speed trap ahead sign, (also used by wagon drivers), The finger swirling then pointing up is more commonly used for the Police speed check helo is up (usually Wales & Peak district). Flat hand (palm down) waving downwards is none police hazard ahead.

As stated before if you are on the side of the road and a biker or car driver gives the thumbs up and you reply with the same or a wave/nod means you are O.K athumbs down means you need assistance.
