Then they get a hand gesture indicating disappointment and regret (it helps the gesture if you shake your head sadly) in the driver's previous behavior, and they start looking contrite and apologetic.

Everyone expects the finger. No one expects the thumbs down.

It's been fun. I've had to use it a lot.
I don't live there, but based on you driving record I think I speak for everyone in Texas when I say, you should keep both hands on the wheel.
