Waving

Always wave at UK registered vehicles when abroad! Wave depending on road/traffic in UK. But as we look like a white van, get more puzzled "do we know them?" looks than waves!

Ours was a 2ltr bottle of milk out of the fridge on an island. Hit the floor and the plastic bottle punctured. Quick thinking from SWMBO and we stood there wondering what to do with a plastic bottle full of milk with a hole in the bottom.
 
Part of my dinner set for 12 fell out the Shitsson cupboards that now have extra locks on after 7 years of ownership.
When I was a new owner I waved at everything, i can’t be bothered now not many wave back anyway.
And on the subject of milk just the other night a small hole let 2 ltrs of milk out overnight !!!

Yep plastic 2 ltr bottles always have one leak in supermarkets leaving a nice slip for compo.
 
I opened the rear door of the van when we arrived in Portugal a couple of years back, and 2litre bottles of Spanish brandy fell out of the back and smashed on the road......badly stowed after purchasing at the border....the smell was overpowering for a while, and it took Dave a week or so to forgive me!

Perhaps you didn't' allow for them to be on the wrong side of the road
 
"If they don't wave back you can have a good old grump and mutter 'miserable b***' instead - win/win whatever ;) :ROFLMAO: 😁"

Exactly the same as what we do. I don't wave on motorways, and you never know if it is a PVC or a van so they don't get a wave neither.
 
Just got a new van after a 5 year break. My old self build got waves all the time. Now have a humble Renault trafic with poptop ect . Just had a 5 day trip to the lakes and not 1 wave, came up with the conclusion nobody waves anymore or I just don't fit for he club anymore 😕
 
Have stopped waving of late. Too many vans on the road these days and was getting the early signs of R.S.I.
 
Bambi got lots of waves, The panel van don't ! I see it as a A class thingy now.
 
I always wave on single carriageway roads unless it's unsafe to do so. Probably get a wave back 60-70% of the time, for the rest I mutter "woody blanker" under my breath!
 
re hand on wheel - if i have a biker behind me and the road ahead is clear ,i'll give a couple of flashes of indicator to let them know i'm aware of them, and think it worth a go at passing . as they pass i often get a wave of a foot to say 'ta' safely .
