The Fading Courtesy Wave on Australian Highways
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
The ABC team embarked on a journey across regional Victoria and South Australia, testing the prevalence of courtesy waves on highways and country roads. They found that while only a small percentage of drivers reciprocated, the gesture was more common between small towns. Locals and truckers shared mixed views on the decline of this tradition, with some attributing it to rushing drivers and others missing the sense of community it once fostered. Road safety experts see potential in reviving the wave as a means to improve road culture.
