Driving an RV means that you sometimes are the parade marshal and have a number of cars behind you, especially on 2 lane roads. We try to be aware and considerate. When possible with “passing lanes” or “turnouts”, we move over so that the parade may “pass us by.” When stopped for road construction we try to allow for all the vehicles behind us to follow the lead car first; thereby ensuring that once we are back on the regular road, they won’t have to try to pass us. Sometimes the cars’ drivers thanks us by flashing their lights or waving a hand (not finger) at us as they pass. More times than not they just pass us and disappear ahead of us.
Yesterday and today are exceptions. We had about 50% of the cars we let get by us on the run down the canyon from Quincy, CA to Oroville, CA, wave or flash their lights in thanks. Then on Interstate 5, trucker after trucker thanked us for letting them know when it was safe to pull back into our lane in front of us. So, we are feeling loved on the highway!
