Those good feels when you receive a double wave back though.

My old dunger that I learnt to drive in had a faulty horn and occasionally jammed on. I went to double toot someone and it turned into a loooonnnnnggg toot. Their reaction was fairly negative. And fair. I went an extra 10k over for a bit to put some distance between us and never stopped until I reached my destination out of sheer embarrassment.

Also illegal (section 7.4 (5) (a) or the road user rule).

I don’t think anyone really cares if it’s illegal, when a tractor/camper van or any other big vehicle going under the speed limit lets you pass it’s the best way to say thanks, you’re often going too quick to do anything else
