That's how I teach people, verbal commands, DRIVER, PASSENGER, hard to mess up that way. "Go left! I said left! no I mean my left not yours!!!!!"
i learned this from bruce, and insist that everyone does it for me. even for things like lining up to pull fence posts with my winch, dad knew by then to give me passenger/driver directions. i feel its the most clear direction you can give as a spotter. hand singnals are hard to follow because you are looking at the spotter, looking at your left front tire, looking in your mirrors to see what your rear tires are doing, etc. i think this summer i will buy a handheld CB so verbal instructions can be given over the air.
