@Pieter Claassen Points 9 and 10 If point (9) says that, In Alberta you must give hand signals when you turn. How does point (10) work, if you must always have both hands on the handlebars? I don’t expect an answer, I just found that a bit odd :slight_smile:

PMSLMAO!!! This is brilliant keep 'em coming. Stefan

@ukiceman, that’s the point. If you obey any one of the laws, you will be breaking the other one. But both laws are in force.
