Two fun observations we have of the 'appropriate hand signal by way of appreciation'.....in Ireland last year driving the full extent of the West and South coasts we noticed the 'appropriate signal' was an ever so slight lifting of the finger off the steering wheel as in a sort of flick upwards, you could miss it if one wasn't watching for it, which we were after the first few days, but appreciation it was. Whereas the year before we were driving the length of the Outer Hebrides and with some of the narrow roads up in that part of the world there was a lot of giving way to be done, it's a full on arm salute, so friendly you thought they were inviting you home for dinner. But at least in both places giving way was always acknowledged, locally,in the hectic South now that's another story sometimes.
