Dear David:
Not a bad thought.  My late father-in-law did a world trip when he
retired...... brought home a couple of nicely enamelled badges from
some motoring club in the Middle East, ovals the size of the old AAA
badge, blue with gold Arabic characters.  I didn't know anyone at the
time who could read what they said, and despite concern [considering
events of that time] they might say something disparaging about
Israel, I mounted them on his sportscar for him.

He got amazing numbers of waves, sometimes at distracting times.  He
was too polite not to wave back, and that may have been a factor when
he went into a spinout someplace in the Tennessee or Kentucky
mountains, when returning to Chicago from a Florida trip.....??  So
sure, watching oncoming traffic has its hazards.  But I think if we
return waves only when it seems safe and prudent to do so, and wavers
understand that wavees [!] may have other things on their minds.... it
should not be a problem?  And if it really concerns you, you have the
option of putting NO sticker on the front of your Vanagon.  Best
regards------
