How should I thank other drivers while driving? My wife thinks I'm breaking the law.

Hello you.

My wife has said I need to immediately stop what I'm doing behind the wheel of our large automobile (it's a Micra).

When other drivers give way - I typically just put my hand up to thanks. But if I'm really really grateful - like if they've given way to me in a way that goes above and infinity and beyond - then I will typically give them the sign of the cross with my hand facing them like how the Pope does.

My wife always smacks my hand down and tells me that this is illegal, possibly offensive to Ordained ministers (I'm no longer practicing), and liable to get me gruntily shunted by an aggrieved believer.

Personally I think she's smoking ganja if she thinks I'm going to be arrested for this - but maybe she's onto something.

Anyway - what are some fruity and exciting ways to say THANK YOU in traffic to fellow drivers ?
