In Southern California, the younger driver should know what the hand signals mean. Before my son could take his drivers test, the inspector asked him to demonstrate hand signals, among other things. While waiting for him, I observed all of the inspectors asking for demonstrations, young and old.

IMO, there is no reason why drivers don't know hand signals. Now, if they use them or not, is another story. But most drivers don't use turn signals anyway...
