Australia has a speeding problem. They have tried to solve it. For instance, they ran an ad campaign showing horribly mangled bodies and crushed cars, the result (theoretically) of speeding. Did not work. So they went into a thoughtful pose and came up with an idea. They would combat speeding with...what...
Higher fines on tickets?
Jail time for speeding?
Loss of license?
Repeat offenders losing their cars?
Offenders being sentenced to a driving course?
No, they came up with something EVEN MORE IMPACTFUL. They put together an ad campaign showing male drivers speeding and driving dangerously, only to have women shake their pinkies at the men drivers! Yes, that should work...
of course, in Australia, pinky shaking indicates the guy is...well...anatomically midget sized in a sensitive area. Methinks I am going to adopt the pinky wave at some of the numbskulls I see every morning these days...like the car this morning that made SEVEN lane changes to pass 2 cars. It worked...though I made one lane change and reached my exit before they did...

Doesn't just mean that in Australia :)
I myself have used that gesture.
