Especially if youre in a work van. We MUST acknowledge each other… for some reason lol
Tram drivers in Cologne, when passing other Tram drivers
I’m pretty this applies to tram and bus drivers literally everywhere.
If it’s that rural, it’s a mutual thank you for not hitting them on a thin road.
On the road to my camp I have to pull over or back up if a neighbor is passing me. Also, it’s a private road so we have to maintain it ourselves.
Same here.
This was a thing according to my dad, in rural areas you didn’t see many people with a truck or car. So you waved at each other. Also most times you knew all your neighbors anyway.
I used to wave at people but today especially up north people get aggressive or flip you off. They just not used to being friendly.
Eh fuck em. I’ll wave 'till I die. 👋
I learned to do this growing up, the two fingers up off the steering wheel, and I instinctively do it in rural areas now, it always cracks my husband up when this gay city dude is waving at country rednecks and they’re waving back
Two whole fingers??? I was taught pointer finger for someone you don’t know, two (pointer and middle) for someone you know the name of, three for a family friend (all three middle).
Mother taught dad this when he did three and she cracked up because you could see the other driver trying to figure out how he knew us.
Yep two fingers means “I’m from here” so I love the puzzled looks.
I can’t bear to live in rural because of relative lack of modern conveniences. But I have to say I envy the community spirit that rural areas tend to have. The feeling of community is slowly dying even in my mid-sized home city. The least talked about aspect in the modern political discourse is individualism versus collectivism, and this is what many people missed to explain the rise of populism.
Europeans: why the fuck should I drive? I just g walk to the bakery (and greet everyone)
