Like most us I'm sure, I really enjoy the attention we get and love returning the waves and flashes.
Problem is, I also hate "letting people down" if I fail to return their recognition in time, if at all. Quite often my kids or wife will say, "he waved, she waved, they waved" and then follow it with, "why didn't you wave back?". I do of course suggest that they too can respond but they all seem afflicted with a particular variety of English reserve meaning they don't want to draw further attention to themselves.
My primary focus is of course keeping us on the road, and safely with it. Eyes on the road as it were.
That said I hate the thought that some may be thinking, "miserable sod couldn't be bothered to wave back". They probably aren't, but the guilt lingers.
Is it just me?.....
Yes, it is just you..!!!
Wave like a banshee, even if you've passed each other. We drive these things for fun, you misery..!!
