During our two driving trips to Alaska I had the habit of waving to on-coming rv's as we traveled the Alaska Highway. The on-coming drivers very, very seldom waved back. When a driver failed to return my wave I developed the technique of turning my waving hand and waving at myself. My CEO/Navigator thought it was funny for a while, but then ordered me to "knock it off."

However, on the Interstate they're too far away. On two lane roads, they're close but maybe concentrating on the road?Enjoy your travels. I'll wave to you but, don't look for me in Alaska anytime soon.

I'd rather hands stay on the wheel and eyes on the road ahead.

Actually, I love to wave, but usually it is hard to see the driver until you are getting pretty close. At that point, I am making sure I am making sure we are going to miss him(or her). I try to wave if someone is passing me, but again, when they are close enough to see me, most are watching the road.
