Wave however you want. I sometimes just put my hand up above the steering wheel, sometimes out the window, etc. Doesn't matter, as long as you make the effort.

I like to give a little blip of the fog lights when getting late into the afternoon or it's night - with my new PIIA's it's far more noticeable than a wave.

Just make sure it's a full finger wave. Not a middle finger wave.
