Depends on how close. Somtimes its a full, stood up, wanker sign. But if its really close then im usually still trying to stay alive by the time we've past.

Yes. The Finger of Justice is out almost daily.

The Thumb of Thanks also makes some appearances when filtering.

There's no point. I wear hi-vis and therefore they can't see me. Amirite?

If you're at fingering distance you're still at rage ramming distance...

Poll is missing some options. Sad

I give finger if finger is given.

If in the car then doing a theatrical insane person laugh sends a better signal.

I prefer to follow them for a mile or so. That usually shits them up a bit.

This.

If it's that close I don't have time to give them the finger anyway.

I'd rather have a little discussion with someone (in b4 KTM man). Who knows, maybe one day it'll sink in with one of them Rolling Eyes

Depends on my mood tbh.

Usually I'll just carry on, as things happen on such a regular basis that it becomes the norm, so not worth getting too bothered about, as I tend to make mistakes myself when I've allowed myself to get wound up by some numpty. I just prefer to make sure I'm ready for them pulling out of a side road or whatever.

That's not to say that it's totally unheard of for some abusive hand signal to come into play though.

No - it just causes butt hurt in the annoyance and that in turn just makes it worse.

Ride on by and remember the bastard for next time.

I think I am gonna need some help here. I am Joe foreigner in this land so what would be the most offensive sign to use:

1. The Middle finger
2. The mighty wanker sign
3. 2 finger salute

??

Or this one which can be a little unsafe on a bike and have no idea how you guys call it here?

I prefer to beat my chest like an angry gorilla whilst emitting a really loud tarzan yodel.

I usually point to my temple and move my finger in a circular motion while shaking my head in a gesture of disappointment.

On a close call I would focus more on not getting deaded.

I try not to let this stuff wind me up anyway, what's the point? Why should I let these dickheads stress me out?

I just assume that I was somehow to blame and give that appallingly lame head shake.
