I always wave but seldom get anything back. I think a recruitment drive is needed.

Do you know, it's weird, whenever I flash my lights people hate it for some reason. Dunno why?

if someone in another Coupe waved at me, I would try to wave back, as I would know why they were waving at me.

but if someone who wasn't in a Coupe did the same I would think they were messing about/were mad/taking the piss and I would probably just ignore them.

hmmm i wonder.

you wouldnt do it to a coupe though would you stan??

They hate it because theres nothing much to see!

Mrs Stan been talking in her sleep again?

It would be nice to actually even see another coop whilst driving! the only time it's happened was when I was stuck in a queue and the driver was going around a roundabout and wouldn't have seen me.

having said that, it was only a porto with a spoiler lip anyway

I normally flash and / or wave and I guess like most on here it's about 50% response.

I wonder if those that don't respond, just don't notice anyone else on the road either!

mmm..I wouldn't imagine many forum users/club members not responding to a flash or a wave, so that either means they are either still asleep at the wheel, or maybe there are quite a few non users/members

whooo twas me at teesside possibly,i vaguely remember seeing a blue coop was it on the retail park during the day. Let the boyf drive for the day and then we see another coop out of the very few there is in the north east,typical lol.

Think about a typical motorway oncoming situation, though... you're approaching at around a hundred and fifty miles an hour, that's a mile every twenty-four seconds or so, and you're concentrating on your side of the road. First glimmer is, say half a mile out; twelve seconds to go. Firm recognition two seconds later; ten seconds to go. Move hand to flasher, turn on lights for two seconds; total three seconds. Now you're seven seconds away.

Meanwhile, Sunny Jim is ambling along with his brain in neutral. He sees your flash at seven seconds to go. Two seconds to locate the vehicle, another two seconds to firmly identify it - four seconds to go. Two seconds to decide whether to respond or no, one second to locate the flash switch... one second left for you to notice that he's responded, and he's probably too close for you even to be able to see his lights.

It only takes another second for it to be impossible to be able to see a response. If you're both booting it then that twelve seconds might reduce to six, and both will be concentrating on their own side of the road... I'm amazed anyone ever manages to get a flash back from a fast road.

Stan, get out there man
