Scenario pt.1

Let's pretend you are riding your bike.

You see a stop sign and a car is behind you.

What do you do?

Scenario pt.2

Well there is a handy trick that let drivers behind you, in front of you, and to your sides know what you are about to do!

Hand signals!

This trick is called hand signals and they tell people what you are about to do!

Fill in the Blank

What tells people what you are about to do?

Hey! I'm turning left!

When you want to show you are turning left, you want to stick your left arm straight out in the direction. That says left! Try it with me!

Hey! I'm turning right!

To show you are turning right, you need to aim it to the left but your forearm (part of arm where your hands connect) sticks upward. Try it with me!

SCRRRT! I'm stopping!

This is the exact same thing as right except but instead of the forearm sticking up, It is flopping down! Try it with me!

A stationary object is something that doesn't move. Like a mailbox or a basketball pole.

Moving objects

It says what it means in the name! A moving object! This includes cars and other bikers.
