It may be my imagination, or my age related increase in grumpiness, but has the friendly wave to passing motorhomes stopped?

Waving to yourself, as I have been for most of this year, is arguable a sanity questioning thing, but I am not noticing a response rate that is very high at all!

It's not a biggie, of course. It's just that it has felt different this year.

I always wave , but no doubt there will be someone along to say it's dangerous and you should be concentrating on the road

Husky, you took the words right out of my mouth. Thanks for that.

Has the waving stopped? I sincerely hope so.👍🏻

Why can't we wave at each other? It's a basic human reaction and nice and friendly in a world that needs a dose of friendliness.

Safety? In our MH it's the passenger who has waving duties.

With the proliferation of motor caravans , it could lead to RSI

We could all end up waving to this fellow. I’ve not seen him on site yet… or have I?😃

I always wave if I am not on my mobile, drinking, eating or having a fag

Being simple minded it used to amuse me when driving solo to flash my lights and wave to the occasional car travelling in the other direction with more than one occupant, Almost invariably they waved back. I could imagine the passenger saying to the driver 'who was that?' 'No idea'!
