A driver’s left arm is bent at the elbow with the forearm and hand pointing up.
Correct answer: Turn right
Why
Drivers use hand signals when their signal lights do not work or are hard to see, for example in bright sun. Bicyclists often use hand signals too. When you see a hand signal, give the driver room and expect the vehicle to slow before the turn.
