Recognising & Giving Way To Another Lexus

[Niwinars]

It may sound bizarre but do you ever wave your hand, flash your headlights or stop to give way to another Lexus (regardless what model)? Or do you just treat them like another car on the road?

I personally have noticed that most IS200 owners do give way to me (if I were waiting at a junction etc) and some of them would even flash their headlights (just to say hi) and that pound smile follows it.

And because of this, I have started to do the same.

Are you one of those drivers?

[edeath]

I'm round Heathrow way every so often so i may have been one being nice :). I tend to let IS200 owners more slack than other Lexus owners TBH but then the fat cat in his ls600h doesnt really need my help does he??

[Rikos]

There has been a few topics on this, i do try to acknowlegde other lexus drivers but there are all miserable round my way!!

[84Stoney]

I'd let ya out mate.

I think I proably do this. But I used to in my Celica too. (To other Celicas, that is!)

I have noticed this more so on a bike. Not so much giving way etc. (With that power to weight ratio, you only need the tiniest gap anyway!) But if you are out on a superbike, other bikers will nod and acknowlegde you, especially round town, at slower speeds.

funny you should say this, I was driving through town the other day pulled up at a set of lights and opposite was a blue stock IS200 and the guy showed his approval of my IS :), so if you live in or around Buckingham maybe it was you :P

I always flashed and nodded to acknowledge but never got it in return , Stoney's right when I had my R1 everybody else on a big bike nodded and acknowlegded its like a brotherhood , makes you feel good too , shame all Lex drivers aren't like it , I've had my clio since the 7th of Aug and I've seen another one almost identical to mine coming the other way , he flashed and put a thumb up to which I duly replied with the same , nice.

There's not many Lexus drivers round my way so I haven't had the chance to but saying that I've only had the car a week.

Yeh, and I got nods of sympathy riding the R6 with half the fairings missing! I've found bikers often just come up and start chatting to you, they are a friendly people.

he flashed and put a thumb up to which I duly replied with the same , nice.

How did ya get ure clothes off so quickly while driving! And where did ya put the thumb up? (Sorry, may have gone a little far with that one!)

[D Robbo]

Don't wanna know where the thumb went............ :D

[crutch200]

when around in my lexus i always acknowledge other lexus drivers polite wive and occasional nod lol

but around my area of doncaster most lexus drivers are considerable older than me and tend to just shrug it off as if i was just someone being perhaps silly

anyway i guess no matter what car/bike you drive/ride you always tend to give other some admiration

[coolrides]

i would tend to let is200 out quite a lot but usually the person drivin for all they care you could be in a ford fiesta and i lucky to get a wave lol

[Mossyn]

I always acknowledge other lexus drivers

[aztecbandit1]

i see between 5 and 10 lexus's a day round by me now and most put there hands up or flash now :D and i bet they all think there's that nutter in that lexus that waves at us everytime he see's us

[Rory]

I always give way to them, but I don't bother acknowledging them just in passing, just cos most of the drivers aren't paying attention to the other drivers anyway

[grease monkey]

Always always always ya have too its an unwritten law :)

[Y2Kanjar]

I'm a nice person so i give way to most ppl regradless of what they drive......fit woman 1st then lexus drivers lol

[SUPERCOUPE]

Round my way I get hated on by other IS200 drivers, only cos I'm half their age! :P

Jealousy is a cruel mistress hehe!

[SpokesT]

I had a Mini Cooper (BMW) before trading up to my IS and it was always like being in a club with every other Mini driver waving as we passed each other. I've seen nothing like it in any other car including the Lexie.

On my Yammie it doesn't matter what the make of the other bike, there's always a wave. Plus a Foccer (FazerOwnersClub)salute for anyone with a Fazer of clenched left fist against the front of the helmet (ooer madam).

I miss all that if I'm honest
