I am going to Slow Down, Stop, or Turn to my Left

‘To indicate an intention to slow down, stop, or turn to the left (on right hand drive vehicles, edit.), extend the right arm and hand horizontally from the side of the vehicle, with the palm of the hand turned downwards, and move the arm slowly up and down keeping the wrist loose. When stopping or turning to the left, edge slowly towards the near side so as to leave room for traffic going straight ahead. Give the signal in adequate time, and if stopping do so as gently as possible, for the car following may not have as good brakes as your own.’ This text was written in the thirties, but if you think hand signals are out of date, you’re wrong (electriccityhog.com).
