They would be on my tyres then! lol

Is there a specific signal to warn other bikes about police presence or cameras on a road that you are traveling on?

Hand on helmet making flashing (fist then release) movement, for slow speed stuff.

Flashing lights, up and down movement of the hand (as in slow down), or a tarty spotsbike rider doing the speed limit

cool. I have seen a few lift their left hand and turn it in a circle (a bit like a royal wave) to warn for police too, just wondered...

I have to say I'm still at the "quick flash of the lights" phase... hand off is just too scary just now!
