what about one hand off the bars to give a saftey or turn signal?id like to see all the red tape hoo haa legislation on these laws/rules,but then again maybe i dont?id contest it i think?its not like he was doing a high speed corner knee dragging or #$%*,i lift my inside foot all the time cornering hard as i dont want the toe of my boot to get dragged under the peg,and the dirt bike rider in me then points it forward,imagine my fine?riding a road bike like a dirt bike?and with failing to keep both feet on the rests?

I regularly take my left hand off the bars to turn and get a good look behind me, anyone else? Probably right hand in the US.
Re the open window. What about convertibles open cars Dave? How is that enforced?
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

I'll often signal with my left hand, especially when merging left in traffic on the freeway.
MSF hand/foot signals not good enough down under  ::)
