50 years ago, while I was in B-52 training in CA, a friend and his wife were
at our house one evening for dinner. Friend suddenly realized he had
forgotten to swing past post office to mail a certain letter on the way
over. He excused himself to rush to post office and back. When he came
back a few minutes later, he related how he had met a CHP officer en route;
friend had give the officer a friendly wave in native Okie manner. CHP car
immediately made a U turn and came up behind friend with lights flashing.
Friend pulled over, of course; as the officer approached, he asked friend,
"Hey what's this waving you're doing? You trying to be some sort of wise
guy?" Friend replied incredulously, "No, I was just saying, 'Hello,' like
we do back home in Oklahoma." Officer replied something like this, "Well,
we don't wave like that here in CA unless it's somebody trying to give
another driver "the finger" or something like that. Just be careful,
Buddy."

In the years BTW, everyone waved. Even the state peetrol. Then it was
trucks saluting trucks, motorsickles, saluting other riders, and MB owners
saluting other MB owners. Then it got to be pretty much just trucks
lifting a finger to other truckers, and BMW riders waving to other BMW
riders.'
Now, with all the tinted glass, nobody waves.
I dislike tinted glass, and I really dislike the tint you can't see
through. I want to see where the bozo in the car is looking to judge how
much danger I am in.
now if anyone lifts a hand or a finger, it is the bird.
