    Be careful out there, flipping off other drivers is considered “road rage” in some places and can get you ticketed.

    Plus, a thumbs down with a look of disgust is funnier!

      Only if you do it outside the vehicle. This actually came up years ago when I took a motorcycle course. Since you’re always outside the vehicle I guess you can’t flick people off.

      Bro, as a Massachusettsan born and raised if you dare touch my primary form of expression ya gonna get a hot cuppa dunkins in the face. That’d be like banning wicked sick donuts in a rotary.

      This feels like such a thin reason to get a ticket if you ask me. A rude gesture is just a rude gesture. But… be careful out there! I feel safe enough to flip them off, but I encourage safer forms of heckling them, like pointing and laughing.

      Also a chance you’ll catch one of those guys carrying in their cars - that’s their thing. No need to put yourself in the crosshairs for an unhinged person…

      I point and laugh at the ones I see here in Seattle. You can do a pretty good show of it from a bike while passing them being stuck in traffic lol
