(even if the driver can't hear it, the director can.) And then pointing sideways indicates which way the back end needs to go.

It's a good idea, although there's actually a different set of signals for night use that use a normal torch. I can't say I'd want to try them out though, as I'd rather have sufficient light that we can all see what's going on.
