I have a complaint to make about female subaru drivers (flame suit ready)

Why don’t female Scooby drivers wave or flash (their lights of course ) I've seen loads of male scooby drivers and always get a wave/flash/thumbs up back but women just ignore you?

Anyone else noticed this?

This is not a sweeping statement, merely a nag about the women I've seen in Dorset and Hants.

Thanks

Dan

Likewise with our silver Scooby - if Jen's driving you'll be flashed at, waved at or even beeped at until you wave or at least acknowledge her! Usual haunts are around Eastleigh, Winchester and Southampton, but I agree there are some right grumpy gits around our way with Scoobies...

<flame suit on> Because most of the women you see driving Scoobs are just driving their husbands/boyfirends car and could care less if it was a 2CV as long as they don't pay for it

My wife has trouble enough concentrating on the road ahead, let alone other cars going past.

She waves when she notices though.

You guys are obviously not waving at the right scoobie girls!

On the odd occasion my Wife drives the P1, she doesn't wave. She claims to be concentrating on the road. If that's the case then I'm not going to complain, and I think it's probably the case for those who don't drive the car regularly. Although there's a P1 I see quite often, always driven by a woman, and she never waves. Stares, but doesn't wave

However, when it's a woman who regularly drives the car, or owns it, they seem to wave. Jane the Dane, who lives near me always waves frantically when she goes by. So much so, I'm amazed she hasn't had an accident yet

Oooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !!!!
Geezers.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

What a load of old bollo!

It's about 50/50 where I am. I ALWAYS acknowledge other Scoob drivers – except the few I see every day on the way to work that kept blanking me (all male).

My wife says she always waves in our MY02 WRX.. <flame suit on for my wife> but the local boy racer sub drivers (mid 90's modded to bu99ery subs) give her funny looks usually, I wonder why :} <flame suit off for my wife>

How can I wave while doing my eyeliner? It'll go all squinky.

Seriously though, I wave and hardly even get acknowledged. And what's the etiquette on travelling behind another Scoob for 20 miles down the motorway? I always try and make eye contact/nod/wave, get nada in return. Maybe we should drive topless, eh?

The missis drives mine when I'm feeling really brave!
But she belives the horn and lights are used for calling other drivers w*nkers, so when another scoob aknolages her like this she takes offence and gives hand signals!!!
Will keep trying to explain but she does drive a BMW..........

I flashed and waved at some middle aged lady in a scoob 5 door a while back and she waved back, but I think it was one of those embarassed 'I think I know you so I'll wave back, but the realised she didn't know me at all' type things.
