How about a Prius wave to one another?

350Z drivers usually give each other a thumbs up when we see each other. Sadly, I don't see anything like this amongst Prius drivers. :/

Maybe it's more confined to sports cars.

 

It used to be that way I am told when there were fewer Prii on the road.

Aye. We've got well over 20 Prii just in our neighborhood!

There are several threads on this, i.e.: http://priuschat.com/forums/newbie-forum/46014-do-prius-people-wave-each-other.html

Congratulations on your new Prius!

Peace,

Yup! Back in the day we'd pass a \\// wave.

That finger configuration was suppose to indicate "V" for Voltage. But when you've got a license that says 1701-A and you're driving a vehicle that is boldly going...

snobs them Prius drivers

 

There was a time when all foreign sports car drivers waved to each other. Also, many motorcyclists wave. I'm a touring cyclist (as in bicycle) and many cyclists wave when passing each other. I've tried waving at other Prius drivers; I think it would be cool to acknowledge other progressives, but I never have gotten any response.

I think it's a function of numbers; just too many to really take notice. Also, from my perspective, most Prius drivers are old fogeys... Just my observation.

 

It happens here in Sunny Queensland. We're friendly.

 

I'll wave to you. :thumb:

 

I would say that 90% of the other motorcyclists wave when I am riding.

Definitely the old fogey thing is in play as well. Sometimes I see so many old people in Prii it makes me feel old just driving a Prius. However I have to say that the new body style is definitely sportier and younger feeling. Maybe it will attract younger drivers and push the older ones to the Fusion (yeeecchk) Looks like every 4dr sedan my dad ever drove.

I will wave.

I do thumbs up, too. And big grins.

 

Let's just hope almost all get to a point where no waving to each other ...

when there is hopefully so many 2010's on the road, it would be pointless to do so.

I look forward to seeing 'gobs' of 3rd Gen's, all over, everywhere, really.

 

I wave sometimes. I haven't had anyone wave to me yet

 

When the GenII Prius first came out, back in the good 'ol days, I experienced the "waving" experience. This was here in Honolulu. '04s were a rare sight when they first came out. other drivers would wave or smile back at me. sigh! gone are those days. now i guess we may be smog free but sure are smug to each other.

 

Back in the day, all motorists would wave to each other but that was after the days passed that they would stop for a cup of tea on the roadside.

In outback Australia it is common to wave at each passing car going the other way but that is because you see so few other motorists. This is starting to vanish from the roads as outback roads become busier.

I've tried waving to other Prius drivers, a lot of them are driving government or company cars so it's a waste of effort.

 

I'll definitely start waving. I didn't know that Prius drivers ever did that to each other. I've only had mine about a week, but I've had no waves yet. I still have only seen one other 3G Prius here in the DC area (crossing the Roosevelt Bridge to get onto Constitution Avenue).

By the way, Jeep Wrangler drivers always wave to each other (only Wranglers, not the other models). So, waving is not just for sports cars.
