There seems to be a common place tradition? for drivers around the Gloucestershire countryside to give way and to wave when others do so for you.. i noticed it particularly around my home area of the Forest of Dean, its rather quaint and i like it.
That said, i sometimes find that oncoming drivers ignore the etiquette and just plough straight on when in fact i have right of way. When it happens i can tell you its always a young driver that obviously feels they know better. Its the 'modern I mindset' and instead of smiling it makes me feel like giving the offending idiot a good slap!
There is an even darker side to driving in the area however, lack of any policing or controls, young drivers regularly go out doing their own thing and get themselves or innocent others killed. Happens every week on the Forest roads.Very sad.
