Captain Natro Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If i see an import i will usually give a wave, this generally only applies to oncomeing traffic. If i have one follow me or infront of me, ill generally follow at a resonable distance and give a "cya" flash of the lights when i turn off.

AngryRB Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 +1 to waving to a fellow skyline driver, although im sceptical they'd wave back, have a question for you guys... what do you do when at the traffic lights, 2lanes turning into one, you have the right lane and a car pulls up in the left lane with there lane ending... do you put them in there place ( drag is on) or do you let them go?? I always feel the pressure that i should be infront and quite often will be tailgated by lesser powerful cars trying to prove they are fast or something... can be very irritating especially when your engine is cold and you dont want to be coming onto boost.

I always feel the pressure that i should be infront and quite often will be tailgated by lesser powerful cars trying to prove they are fast or something... can be very irritating especially when your engine is cold and you dont want to be coming onto boost. i always go in the left lane if im just chillen, as i see that as the slow/chill lane whilst the right lane is the fast/pass lane. imo if your in the right lane you should be ready to take the lead although if your warming up your car and dont want to hit boost yet then just go to the left Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365804-do-you-wave-back/page/3/#findComment-5997789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke gtr Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I always try to wave. Sometimes just don't see them in time.... And with the bikes, a lot don't give the nod, I do, its a you're interested in what I'm interested in thing. Most of the imports that don't wave back are generally people who arnt enthusiasts.

Tai1or Made Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 When the kids wave I'll give 'em a rev. Used to make my day when I was a kid. I waved to a fellow Skyline driver last week and got a wave back.

GTR-N1 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Same car as last Fri Longz on my way to Earlwood from the Mtns. If the officer is using a mobile ph, I point - not wave!

Sunkist Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 as a new silvia owner. ive noticed that other silvia owners dont acknowledge you in a wave, but they have the tendancy to stupidly rev their motors and let off BOV noises, or rip skids. kind of makes me want to get out of the silvia and back into a stag Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365804-do-you-wave-back/page/3/#findComment-6052985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got a Pulsar Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) When driving, I try to wave at any import Skyline I see regardless of model. Don't often get a wave back but sometimes... I get a giggle out of it so that's all that matters. I have always done it for any car I own. My parents always waved, beeped or flashed other Kombies and Beetles back when I was a kid and we were a VW family. On the other hand, I also give any driver a BIG WIDE EYED shake of the head and the Phone hand signal if they are on the mobile when driving. Hope they can lip read too cause it's a very exagerated "get off the F#@Kin' Phone"!!! Phhhhtttt. some people... I dunno... Who needs 'em.

RB25PWR Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Most of the time I don't bother waving as I get the feeling I wouldn't receive one back. However I still have done it sometimes in the past... FYI - Police are exempt from the mobile phone law.

GTR-N1 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 FYI - Police are exempt from the mobile phone law. Oh - how come that's not well known? I certainly don't expect you - our friendly copper - to change the law; but it would certainly help goodwill between the public and the force if it was publicised that the police are not only required to be able to use the radio whilst driving, but also the mobile. So I take it that police do not have to have sirens/lights on to be able to use the mobile whilst in motion? We the public can get pinged for using the mobile after having pulled over to the kerb, but still have the engine idling eh?
