From what I remember when I did my test, the idea was you knew this incase your indicators ever didn't work.... but A/ how many people do you see who's indicators aren't working actually doing this and B/ would you really want to stick your hand out of the window, circle it around with on-coming/overtaking traffic right beside you :scared:!
