When I was in Zimbabwe (back when they had fuel) both drivers and riders would, as they approach each other, give an flipping hand gesture... pretty much the same one you use when asking "WTF?..." Hand going from palm down and rolling over to palm up.
If both did it, it was taken to mean there was nothing lurking in the shadows. If there was a trap, a variety of signals was used instead of the first signal; palm down, raising and lowering, to flashing lights (which was also illegal then).
The questioning signal is so bloody obvious that you'd pick it up straight away.
The pigs have radios to communicate with each other to gang up on motorists; in the interests of maintaining the Aussie sense of team play, we should be allowed to help each other out in some way.
