'93 Autoquest320 I wave if you are around the same age, I don't tend to wave at 'posh new vans' unless they wave first!

Waving is the co-pilots job.

Lots of confused delivery van drivers on our trips...........................................! ::bigsmile:

Come on grumpy's, we are new to all of this MH stuff but we feel very welcomed by all the waving, makes us feel good and accepted, apart from the ones we miss of course!

Still dropping clangers and making it up as I go along
It is one of the lower marques in the Niesmann&Bischof stable. ;)

Gosh not sure where big tents, houses for horses and what possibly could either prescription drugs, or a social desease................have got to do with waving. :unsure:

We wave at other MH and my wife waves at tuggers, but we are new to this having been shielding from this virus business, and have only just started going out. What I have noticed is that half of the other drivers/passengers are too busy to notice other road users (possibly dreaming of where they are going or have been) and if I ever wave at a woman in nice shiny black PVC I get a slap and words like divorce are used. I swear that if the lady had been in leather I would have had a black eye.

Going up North and doing the usual wave to everybody when one waved a giant hand in the windscreen! Chuckling the rest of the journey! Braw!😂

What great forum this is, I have been saved at several times so started doing the same, sadly often receiving a disdainfully stare from those in command of a superior vehicle to my humble but much loved Berlingo Romahome, said vehicle sadly has Romahome plastered on the front perhaps they think I am an illegal "traveller" from that part of the world!

Had a French van coming towards me both driver and passenger raised both hands and waved like loonies. Bet they wouldn't speak to me if they were next to me on an Aire.
The driver raised his hands?? Yep definitely French 😂

When I'm in my truck I wave at ALL white lorries..... but when they are parked in the truck stop none of them even acknowledge me.....

does that sound slightly ridiculous and also familiar?

Driving without due care and attention springs to mind :reel::Eeek:

They might just be scared of the weirdo in the white truck who is trying to ingratiate himself to them and the nick their loads :imoutahere:

Is it true that waving of a hand changes as you go further north? I often get the finger, not that kind of finger, the little index finger wave from the steering wheel. On one recent trip above the central belt I noticed that you get a raised eyebrow wave more often than not. Honest.

Was a Newbie but getting the hang of it now.
Picked the MH up from storage last week and within 5 mins another MH came the other way - waved and the driver appeared to jump startled into a wave.
I think we are in danger of forgetting how to wave being confined to base by this plague!
