Given the finger for not waving !

[Coolcats]

Nope no mistaking the gesture a stiffly extended digit, just thought it rude and unnecessary

Maybe he only has one finger on his hand so is often misunderstood.

 

[The general]

Maybe he just pinched it ?

Getting the finger for not waving is odd

We wave at other Motorhome’s we spot - if not on motorways or dual carriageways.
Just a bit of fun that reminds us we’re on a recreational drive, not commuting

Also part of the harmless fun is: -

• getting caught out nearly waving or worse actually waving at a food delivery van or horse-box,
• failing to spot a Motorhome waving at us
• Just saying “what’s up with them?” if there’s no return wave.

It’s a bit difficult to see sometimes, anything from just raising a finger off the steering wheel to the passenger waving a large coloured hand on a stick. I’ve noticed it’s more difficult to see the driver/passenger in an A class so I always wave with my left hand near the middle of the windscreen.
I must admit I do find it a little annoying when others don’t wave. A bit daft really.

 

[Spriddler]

People still wave at cars in Norfolk.

Waving at total strangers just because they have a motorhome? Nah.

Should I wave at every VW owner when I'm in my Tiguan, or every Audi A3 when I'm in that one? Nah.

Everyone to their own I guess.

 

[Mags52]

I have waved at a Tesco van, an ambulance and a mobile library. None of them respond.

Have you got a Tesco Club card, an EHIC card, a Library ticket from that area?

No? Well that is the reason

I get waved at by other VW transporter owners

Always wave at real motorhomes, unless I’ve put on the cruise control and having a wee and making a brew.

Never waved at A classes, they’re far to snobby to have mere minions wave at them, nor PVCs as it’s usually a converted DpD van or Amazon out on their deliveries, speeding and ignoring everyone except other PVCs.

In Ramsgate, I noted a tag axle A class was parked with his near side wheels up the kerb and had a puncture in one of the tag setup, so knocked on the window to tell them and offer a hand to change it and was met by a lardeedar torrent of abuse.

Happily walked away and watched them bounce down the kerb on the one good tyre and trundle off. Maybe it was that which brought my distaste and mistrust on A classes.

We've got an old lady of a tag axle A class. Definitely not posh. Be kind to us - we're old ladies too.

My people tell me that motorhomers who don't acknowledge kindred spirits on the road are often sad, miserable, unhappy, unfulfilled folk who probably support mid-table Premier League teams like LiVARpool or ManUre...

When I had my MoHo I didn't bother specially on motorways or dual carriageways, concentrating on driving.

 

[Swifter]

Nobody waves at me in my stealth camper. And that's how I like it.

I always like to wave at the stealth vans as they seem really offended they have been spotted . Max fan and solar on top normally gives it away

Hey you, watch it, or you will get some 'A' Class and First Class abuse from me and it will not be 'lardeedar'

Another Rapido Van's occupants pretended they hadn't seen me when I waved.

Next time they are going to get THE FINGER TREATMENT.

 

[Hettie's Crew]

I just naturally fell into it being a life long motorcyclist.

 

[Wack]

I'm in Dorset, I'm thinking of getting a shop dummy hand and a piece of string so my wife can wave it , every 3rd vehicle was a MH

The only one I gave a massive wave to was the couple in a mk1 transit motorhome , there's no way I'd want to be in it but I appreciate their commitment to keeping it going

 

[NigelNovice]

they must love me as I got a flash of the headlights and a wave the other day and I returned the same

Do people speak to others on Aires

Always.

Sorry Skipped to the end as can see the points of view.

BUT

It's a bit like walking down the street (Hello. good morning(or other) or being in France, where everyone says Bonjour etc.

Ye gods are you so miserable in your life that a simple wave to say hello to someone is an imposition!

Tis a dam short life we are given enjoy and spread that joy.

 

[Sapper520]

Leg out is a thank you to other drivers which may have pulled over to let you pass. Greetings is the left hand out, usually very close to theirs, coming the other way.

We’re so happy riding our bikes on the continent (Spain’s our favourite, but anywhere will do), we’ll wave, nod, foot out and almost always get acknowledgment back……not many Harley riders bother though.

Yes, it does. Stealth ish. As with any van. You can usually spot them a mile of if you look and know what for.

Not so easy when on the move though.

 

[joe and sue]

Our van is a black PVC, nobody waves, they think we are a prison van

or a funeral director on a collection !!

Was that just before the wind ripped off the open skylight?
