Turn Signals
Not required; LRS 32:306

interesting thing about the turn signal. I was pulled over by a cop a couple months ago. He gave me a spiel about all the things he could write me up for. Included in them was not using a turn signal. When he mentioned this I told him that I appropriately administered hand signals. His response was that he could write me up for taking my hands off the handlebars....

Im a little pissed that either a) I was blatantly lied to or b) he doesn't know shit about the law, and writes me tickets anyway.


Thanks for posting this information.

i did use hand signals. His response was that he could write me a ticket for taking my hands off the bike.
