I am thinking about getting turn signal lights for the bike. Cars ignore hand signals. In the above case, a hand signal was deemed "virtually no warning". Of course, the time between the signal and the move into the other lane is the crux of any dispute. Just like a car, I can't signal and then immediately have the right to your lane. This morning I just pulled over to the side, came to a full stop and waited for ALL cars to pass before hopping into the far left lane. I am not comfortable pulling out in front of a car, signal or not.
