Prosthetic arms? One of my sons, who was doing a lot of autoroute driving had (before getting an electronic toll tag), a trigger-operated grabber to reach through the passenger-side window and seize the ticket at peage stations. Needless to say, the sight of this unit emerging from the car in front often caused great hilarity amongst the occupants of the car behind. So, buy a grabber, fasten a large union jack to it and wave that out of the window. It's bound to be seen - unless the driver behind is, of course, once more scrolling through the five-hundred options on his dash-mounted computer system...

At night, a couple of those super-bright red cycle clipped to the car might help avoid such a tragedy.
i know some will frown, but i use all my cars without any sort of indicators. and usually just one rear light. yes the little AT201. even in the dark.
when indicating, i really swing my arms about. so hopefully im seen. even if it just drivers thinking whats that idiot doing.
perhaps i was just lucky, as all the idiot in the country were on bournemouth beach.
