A campfire is a fire lit

at a campsite, to
serve the following
functions: light,
warmth, a beacon, an
insect and/or apex
predator deterrent, to cook, and for a psychological
sense of security. In established campgrounds they are
usually in a fire ring for safety. Campfires are a
popular

feature of camping, particularly among organized

campersuch as Scouts or Guides.

mentioned in point 13 of the rules of the road. Very few
people actually know the hand signs and use them. It is
good to learn them and be prepared to use them if you

brake lights. The hand signs for the following should be
followed if the vehicle brake/indicator lights do not work:
1.When the vehicle is about to slow down
2.When the vehicle is about to stop
