How to sign “Car” in BSL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the British sign. See the ASL sign for “Car” instead
Step by step
- Hold both hands up in front of you with fingers closed, as if gripping a steering wheel.
- Move both hands up and down in opposite directions, like turning the wheel.
Practice tip
Keep the movements small and alternating — it mimes turning a steering wheel.
