To sign speed, start with both hands in 'L' shapes in front of you, with your index fingers pointing forward and thumbs pointing straight up. Pull both hands back toward your body while simultaneously bending your index fingers. The movement should be quick and sharp to reflect the meaning of the word.
Sign 'car', then sign 'speed' with a very sharp, quick motion and an intense facial expression to emphasize the high velocity.
Sign 'work', then use the sign for 'speed' to indicate doing the task much faster.

Yes, the sign for speed is exactly the same as the sign for fast. You can adjust the intensity and quickness of the movement, along with your facial expressions, to show exactly how fast or speedy something is.
You should use both hands for this sign. While some casual variations of 'fast' might occasionally use one hand, the standard and clearest sign for 'speed' uses both hands moving together symmetrically.
Absolutely! The movement must go backward toward your body. If you push your hands forward, it might look confusing or resemble a different sign. Always start with your hands out and pull them in.
