This guy is deluding himself if he thinks his pointing 'technique' lessens the risk of crossing an intersection. It means different things to different people, provided they can even see that the guy is pointing in the first place.

Last month, my boyfriend and I went to the bike show in Abbotsford. I took home several flyers and an article from an HD flyer caught my attention.
One of the articles was about an ex police officer with about 30 yrs of biking experience who now works for Steve Drane Harley. I enjoyed the article but something he said about being seen in intersections surprised me.
When he approaches an intersection, and if an oncoming vehicle is about to make a left turn across his path, he will point at that driver to let him know that he is approaching. I read this to my boyfriend who said that if someone was pointing at him in an intersection, he would take that as an ok for him to go first, not as a 'look at me, I'm coming through'.
Any opinions????
