I stand corrected.

My dad was a lawyer ... (I had to google it to confirm it though)

What is Rule 50 and 55? NVM, I looked it up. Rule 50 and 55 applies when the direction indicator or brake lights, respectively, are not working or non-existent.

What is Rule 50 and 55?

50- How to give a right change of direction signal by giving a hand signal

To give a hand signal for changing direction to the right, the driver must extend the right arm and hand horizontally and at right angles from the right side of the vehicle, with the hand open and the palm facing the direction of travel.

55- How to give a stop signal by giving a hand signal

(1) To give a hand signal for stopping or suddenly slowing, the driver must extend the right arm and hand at right angles from the right side of the vehicle, with the upper arm horizontal and the forearm and hand pointing upwards, and with the hand open and the palm facing the direction of travel.
(2) However, the rider of a motor bike may give the hand signal by extending the left arm and hand at right angles from the left side of the motor bike, with the upper arm horizontal and the forearm and hand pointing upwards, and with the hand open and the palm facing the direction of travel.

Rule 49 does state you can only use hand signals if yours are broken, or obscured so its likely you'll get pinged either way if the cops having a bad day... Defective vehicle or illegal use of signals.
