If you aren't an experienced motorcycle, bicycle or snowmobile rider, you might wonder what the hand signals mean that are used by many snowmobilers.
Hand signals are easy to use and can be a very reliable way to communicate while riding a snowmobile. They can be vital to safe snowmobile riding, so always make clear, very deliberate signals with your left arm that can be seen by other drivers behind you or approaching sleds.
Of course, there is no substitute for keeping your hands on the steering bar to be able to safely steer through a curve in the trail, etc. We don't recommend "letting go" just to be able to signal to oncoming riders - safety first is real...!
