One yesterday in Hindhead, and a few today driving to dorset

Yes Kit. Spot on.

Non wavers - most females towing horse boxes, most males who look like they work on the farm, and utility company vehicles.

Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule and I will always, if can, try a wave.

Non-wavers here, as above, plus 21 year-olds doing a ski season and driving clients in the chalet's liveried 110. Never, ever get a wave. Sad Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Anything with an Ifor Williams canopy is a fairly safe bet for no wave I find

Give them a wave. What have you got to lose? Doesnโ€™t cost much money either. If your ignored, their loss not yours Thumbs Up

Not so many now as they seem to have moved onto Isuzu but I always waved at the UK Power Networks Defenders. I sometimes got a wave back, not always but it was a little win when they did.
