The hand and arm bent at 90 degrees and pointing downward indicate the driver's intention to

  1. Turn left

  2. Turn right

  3. Accelerate

  4. Slow down or stop

The correct answer is: Slow down or stop

When a driver extends their hand and arm out the window with their elbow bent at a 90-degree angle and pointing downward, they are signaling their intention to slow down or stop. This hand signal is used in situations where the vehicle's turn signals are not working or may not be clearly visible to other drivers. It is essential for all drivers to be familiar with common hand signals to communicate effectively on the road, promoting safety for everyone.
