Lets all promise each other right now that we will NEVER adopt this strange european gesture. Sticking ones leg out as they pass is just too weird for me.

LMAO This reminds me when I was on my first trip down the highway and other HD showing that low wave gesture so when I decided to do that for my first time at about 140, you can imagine what happened when a 140km gust of air caught my unsuspecting arm. I am sure I got a laugh from that guy, like that guy is new.

sticking out your right leg could mean your right nut is not where it's supposed to be

Here in the states if you see a guy kicking his right leg out..it's probably aimed at a car door. Or a lil old lady. We're mean here.

Make a closed fist with your left hand...palm facing inward toward you and extend your middle finger in a universal sign of unity......uh...nevermind...just kind of point 1/2 way downward with your left index finger.

In New York City, the standard greeting is to raise your hand with your middle finger extended, lay on the horn button, and yell something like "Geddowddamyfrigginwayyapeicea****bastard!"

... but only if you like them.

I also noticed this; A soon as the light turns green, everyone is supposed to lay on their horn until they clear the intersection.
