Matt,
While it's not really an answer to your primary question, I have over the years, maybe twice, pulled alongside someone and swung my forearm with a pointed index finger moving towards the side of the road repeatedly. The drivers, in one case with a locked brake and in another with a small fire took my gesture as "pull over and stop" and they did. It was of course accompanied by a lot of other horn honking and gesticulating. In this day and age I despair of any single communication like you're describing becoming common, much less universal. But then I see something like "LOL" or "LMAO" and think... maybe it's possible.
