Shame about the camera positioning. The reverse angle camera shows the train passing about a dozen do not drive on the tracks signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHB2 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I was sitting right behind LRT driver as he made a hand gesture.I believe that communication technique is in Ch3, section 1 of the official METRO Driver Training Manual titled "Go METRO, Not Postal. Use Fingers, Not Guns." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
