Here, we normally use the hand, all 5 fingers to say thank you or excuse, with the occasional head bow or saying the words (that many times are not audible by the other driver or pedestrian. Of course when the feelings are high, we do tend to gesticulate and swear more. Never heard about the 3 finger rule. The driver license, I think that it is similar, since it's now EU general rules or something like that. I remember that B - ordinary car, i can drive 4 wheel motorcycles and tractors (agriculture ones; I can not remember the correct term for them in english) to 4000 kg. Other permissions I have to read the code again. The roundabouts, one must giver priority to the cars inside and when I learn, specific for small roundabouts with only 2 lanes like many in my town, we should do by the right lane, leaving the left/ interior one for the driver that wanted to exit the same way it came, using the roundabout for a "u-turn". The rule was not tight so, also a person could use the left lane and use the second or third exit, being always in the left lane, if the exit had 2 lanes. Early last decade the rule changed so in any roundabout, large or small, the right lane is only to be use for exit in the first. All the rest, the driver have to use the left(s) lanes and then begin to go to the right ones until the exit that serves him best. In my opinion, here, several people do the roundabouts like them want and sometimes the rules are just out of the window... |

When it snows or rains, hop into your minivan with the balding "all weather" tires and drive 70 mph.
After all, your mini van has "All wheel drive" so you are safe. The faster you drive on icy roads the less time you spend on the road and therefore your chances of an accident go way down.

Three fingers could also mean somebody ordered five beer for his buddies at the sawmill.

Back in the days of liberty and rear wheel drive vehicles we used to go out in snowstorms to do Broadies in a nearby shopping center parking lot. Great fun.

Remember a Swedish article about young men and their driving styles. Remember that the article stated that if a psychological test was introduced, in order to get a driver's license-95-98% would fail this test.
