If you waved you wouldn't have any hands on the wheel, so that wouldn't be safe. Moving your other hand to wave would be rude to whoever you're talking with on the phone.

Yeah, courtesy waves are few and far between in the OC. I'm in Tustin myself and have no choice but to be a somewhat aggressive driver. People actually talk about when they do get a courtesy wave too...that's how few and far between they are.

"I can't believe that guy let me over. Even with the trailer attached to my truck!"

I see the middle finger more often than not. Probably because I'm the one giving it.
