- Nod - Nervous driver to scared to take hands off the wheel.
Thumbs up - Younger hot hatch driver who has just taken advantage.
Full Palm - The older Jaguar driver usually does this.
Thumb and little finger extended with bend wrist - Gangster tendancies show usually by a wannabee rapper!
Index finger raised - Usually done when other driver has only just managed to realise he has to give way - a token thanks.
Index and first finger raised. - Bit PAPAL this one again typically done by the older driver in a Mercedes who actually owns the road you are on!
Both Hands wave - Muppet style thanks - you recognised the other driver and they are oblivious to who you are. (This one is fun to do to see the reaction.)
Flash of the lights - All social interaction is shunned by these loners - all their holiday pics are of scenes with no people in them.
V Sign (backwards) - Churchill style Victory salute 'cos you won the game of chicken.
