As an older driver who grew up in the 1950s and 60s it was common to see younger males with no right arm wandering the streets. This was caused by their vehicles being involved in crashes. These men had their arms out of the vehicle, then had them torn off when hit by another vehicle or when their car rolled over. THAT"S why there is a law today making it illegal to hang your arm outside the confines of the vehicle. You are not tough or cool guys, just a bit stupid, especially if you are right handed. Think about it.

Sure do but never used one and also the little arms that light up and flicked out from either side depending which way you intended to turn.
