Looks like my dad’s old truck – only one taillight for brake and parking lights. Same old green too – I don’t think Chevy’s came in any color but green back in the day.
Turn Signal? What turn signal? When I started driving hand signals were all we had, and you had to show you knew how to use them to pass your license exam.
@night-gauntYeah……….The guy in the cartoon is signaling a right turn (as opposed to going straight up). A left turn is your arm/hand straight out. Dangling your arm out the window limply means you’re about to stop….I don’t think there were any others…
Having been in a situation like this, waiting for the chance to get in to the garage for service, I discovered how few still knew what it meant. I wasn’t waving ‘hi’ folks!

Doesn’t matter to the police. They’ll still cite you for not using it.

@Josh, where I live no one knows what a turn signal is – especially the police.

Thanks, Rebecca. My grandpa had a green Chevy, too (a 1950 model, I think).

Ours was a 1954. I had a lot of good rides in the back of that truck!

Haven’t had inspections in Florida since at least when I moved back in 1985.

In good Ole’ AussieLand Hand signals are now illegal & you can get a ticket for having your arm out of the car window
