Default Rules when meeting another scooby on the road

How do you react when meeting another scoob?

I have so far managed to resist making my scooby drive a little dance of excitment but I try and wave

I try to let most other cars out in rush hour , but always let another scooby out

I think that a wee flash from the approaching Scoobys girlfriends Boobies should
be the standard form of fellow Ownership...

Some form of acknowledgement - normally a little wave. Sometimes this gets you a suprised look from the other driver

If he's coming towards me then it's a flash of the lights & a wave.
If I am behind him ,then it's a quick gesture towards the carriage way , so we can get it on. Lol

I usually wave but not many wave back

For instance, last Friday I saw 6 Imprezas and only 1 waved back

I always give a little wave but very rarely get any response especially here in Essex. When I've been driving in Wales and Scotland most other Subaru drivers wave back.

I do the same, if they don't wave back I then find myself pretending to tap to the music that's on, it's the only way to keep the wife quiet!

Wave and flash (the lights). Had one dude following me home all along the A406 to the Hangerlane. Didnt get a wave or a flash out of him, but I think there was a mutual understanding of Scooby ownership, as he gave me a sample of his dump valve as he shot past.

That explains why Hawk drivers never show acknowledgement, they`re miserable as sin.

I rarely get any response from Classic drivers but almost always get a wave or lights flash from Blob owners
