I don’t think I’m rich, but I do look damn good in my Spandex bike shorts.
The vast majority of cyclists do abide by the rules of the road. It’s hard enough to stay alive out there as it is. I guarantee you that drivers violate more road rules than cyclists. Cell phone use/texting, ridiculous speeds, 8am pot smoking, rolling coal, passing around curves, you name it.
Back to the original point, I do use hand signals when on my bike. But I’ve learned that people don’t understand the traditional right turn signal so I signal those turns with my right hand. My collector cars all have signal lights.
As of four years ago, the CT driver’s manual and test questions still covered hand signals.
