A good tang wave should stretch the skin between the fingers to near splitting point. Extra marks If you crack your knuckles on the windscreen.

No no,not true. Easy too get out. U just have to wear one of those big hi-viz coats (not vests) while driving up or down the motorway.don’t shave or shower from 1 week to the next, wear boots with laces in them and the toe wore off the tip of the boots. Wear the same pair of combats trousers all weak.keep ur lorry like a rubbish skip. Open curtains or back doors of fridges without wearing gloves…I bet that sounds like a lot of dirty drivers yous know, just check out drivers waiting room.

Here’s David Cameron demonstrating the wave.
Does Cameron not like competition?
Milkchurns - no need for the waiting room - I work with a couple of examples.

There every where, we can all laugh at the tang but at least he takes pride in how he and his truck appears.

Sorry but WTF is the “Tang Wave”?+1
“Tang” is the name given to the current crop of Irish drivers who usually drive Scania V8’s. They are characterised by wearing check shirts, bomber jackets, jeans and brown dealer boots. This “look” was first pioneered by Jim McDonald of Coronation Street fame (actor Charles Lawson) in the very early 90’s. This casual look was a move away from the previous characterisation of an Irishman (AKA The Kerry Man), as not all where small with hairs growing out of their ears. Neither did they really wear top hats. The added bonus of this “Tang” attire meant that your casual clothes could double up as your work clothes and PPE, all in one go.
I got the above from Wikepedia, but the “Tang Wave” is the wave they do to each other.
N sure if the mighty Wiki is entirely correct here.Never heard the Tang term before Milkchurns started his entertaining take off posts.I met a few of these boys in Holyhead port in the '70s,resplendent in the boots jeans and shirts,all joshing and punching each other in a brotherly fashion.Every other sentence was finished off with ‘baaaay’ (boy,I assume) with what appeared to be the last breath they had.
