The nod

I do nod but its not the same as the european left leg or left arm out! Benefits of driving on the wrong side of the road I guess!

How is this possible?

It simultaneously feels like forever ago and last week. Fond memories!

I nod at anything, have accidentally nodded at old people on those electric trolley things.
I say nod, but it's more of a dog like side head tilt with an added twist of the neck, definitely looks like I need a chiropractor, but it means I still get to look forward rather than down.

There's an old lady that every morning during rush hour takes her dog out for a road walk on her mobility scooter doing impressive 5mph. I can't wait to retire and do the same, or get a equivalent to an M5 and drive it on the right lane doing 50mph.

Yeah the side head tilt is the one I see more often than not around my area. That and the leg out, which I always thought was more a European thing and don't remember seeing until recently.

My offside leg may go out if there's, for example, a car waiting to pull out of a junction on my left that may misinterpret any head movement. If they can't see the leg I can still be all nice and then not have to do an emergency stop :cry:

I just think I'll fall off if I start sticking my leg out.
