I just became a Prius owner and I have noticed that frequently when I approach another Prius on the road the driver turns their blinker on and quickly then off. At first I thought it was just a freak thing, but the longer I drive the Prius the more I take note of this happening. Makes me think of when I drove a motorcycle and other motorcyclist gave a wave when I passed them. Anyone else having this experience?
Nope. Not in my area. I suspect it's because there's too many Prius's (Prii?) here, you'd be blinking all day. I wish other Prii would blink though.
congrats and welcome! there used to be a wave back in the day, but i've never heard of the wink. anything is possible though!
I've had a nod or two if we were both sitting near each other at a traffic light, but that's about it.
In my neck of the woods if you're driving a pickup you automatically wave at approaching drivers. I think it's in the genes if you buy a pickup. No winks here, it's not manly...
In the more rural sections near my home, waving is the friendly, neighborly thing to do. In the towns you do not see it as much. I am not sure pickup trucks have anything to do with it but tractor ownership might.
That's the first I've heard of it. Pretty cool, though, if that's the case. Like the M/C wave you mentioned.
