So, with that in mind, I asked people who don't ride if they know what the proper hand signal is for a right hand turn... and not a SINGLE person knew it (I asked probably 30 people).
Unreal.

I don't see that as being unreal. How many times is the average driver exposed to hand signals, unless they are in downtown NYC or Chicago and see a lot of bike messengers?
