Hopefully not destined for muppetdom.

Question: To flash, then wave, or not to flash and wave manically enough to be seen?

In normal driving I flash, then wave but this can have potentially dangerous consequences in town if another driver assumes you're giving way. I know they shouldn't but it only takes one to make a mess of your scooby.

Just wave normally. Sometimes flash. There are some miserable b*ggers out there who don't respond.

Im the one who waits until im flashed or waved first, just so i dont feel like a total plonker when i get ignored. Then i wave back.

My wife gets more waves and flashes than i do, hmmm wonder why that is?

Flash first and then 'The Full Rimmer' salute.

Occasionally get a response (if I'm not in a hedge by then).

Flash the lights if suitable (i.e. not approaching a junction ) and wave

Blobster - at least it's not the Double Rimmer ...now *that* would be dangerous

Don't really bother anymore. In three months of ownership i think i've only ever had one response.
I'll wave/flash if i'm waved/flashed at, but that never happens either

Depends on where I am coming from....

Head on - flash then wave (or wave only if the flash can be mis-interpreted, I learnt that lesson early on in my Scoob ownership when a car almost came out of a side road in front of me)

Side to side (when overtaking) - look over and if I make eye contact will wave

From behind - flash

When in front - a quick burst of the hazard lights

On top - no experience yet!!!!!

It all depends on my mood. Sometimes flash, sometimes wave ALWAYS acknowledge!

How I look at it anyone who doesnt wave/flash back either

a) didnt see me

or

b) kiss my ****!

Not necessary the best way to look at it but its my way!!!

Flash, wave and ignored for most of the time[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
To be honest about a 50:50 response but none seem to be scoobynetters

No flash, just short wave (hand still on wheel, fingers raised), had 3 out of 5 acknowledge me in last week or so in Coventry.

The Rimmer style salute gets my vote though, if I ever see a scooby driver do that to me I will **** myself laughing and most likely crash the car, but it'll be almost worth it!
