Slow down or stop – indicated by extending your arm out the window with an up-and-down movement.
Without brake lights, you can indicate your intention to slow down or stop by extending your arm out the window and waving up and down.
Make sure your arm is clearly visible to other drivers behind you.
By using this hand signal you will give driver’s behind you time to adjust and slow down even if they are following closely behind.
Due to how prevalent tailgating and rear-accidents are, warning other drivers of your intentions can be the difference between being in an accident or not.

I intend to move in to the left or turn left or stop on the left. I intend to slow down or stop. For use when direction indicator signals are not used, or when necessary to reinforce direction indicator signals and stop lights. Also for use by pedal cyclists and those in charge of horses. I intend to slow down or stop. I intend to move in to the left or turn left or stop on the left. These signals should not be used except for the purpose described.

The arm signal to tell people you are slowing down is to put your right arm out of the window, palm facing down, and put your arm up and down. Up and down means slowing down. Before putting your arm out of your car window, make sure your window is all the way down, and you must check your right door mirror to make sure no-one is passing you. You will use your right arm for all three arm signals.

If you need to stop, the proper hand signal is holding your arm still. I intend to slow down or stop. Police officers will hold their arms still when using the stop signals. There are three stop signals that police officers commonly use: Traffic approaching from the front must stop, Traffic approaching from behind must stop, and Traffic approaching from both the front and behind must stop.
