    that is not done in the Netherlands. For cyclists you just point in the direction you’re going with the arm closest to that direction.This is taught to children at a young age.

    For driving a car I was never taught hand signals, I suspect that if you drive while your lights aren’t working, you’ll get a fine if caught. Wikipedia says that when driving oldtimers, which often don’t have a cab, you just point in the direction you’re turning, same as on a bike.





  • This is the absolute worst advice for coming to a European country. It’s probably different in Denmark but for some countries or cities at least you won’t be able to get through the bureaucracy needed to legally immigrate without speaking the language. Even in offices that mainly help foreigners you may find the employees don’t speak English. And if you want to be there long-term, good luck making real connections if you don’t speak the language.
