So, my job is actually for a newspaper processing obituaries. One of the first things we were taught was we HAVE to call the funeral home to make sure the person is dead. Because the paper has been sued by someone very much alive when a fake obituary caused them issues. It's not just a Rhode Island thing, trust me.
In the Midwest, you ask for permission, give them the wave, thank them twice, give them a friendly toot toot on the horn. Then and only then can you pass them, unless you're from Chicago.

@Trad Lads Productions what do you mean after the Jews and Africans left He waited the several weeks for every single Jewish and African person to get asylum in another country then told the men to fight after Russia was already invading Just trying to get your perspective

That first one comes from the very first days of automobiles, when American lawmakers everywhere had a very predictable reaction to a new thing: they didn't understand anything about it, hated it, and tried to legislate it out of existence. The "timely, audible noise" thing was born out of a fear that cars would sneak up on horses and scare them. Of course, all this was utterly silly to anyone who knew anything about cars at the time. Cars lacked mufflers, shocks, more than 5 horsepower, power steering, and smooth roadways. Consequently, finding a car that you couldn't hear coming from a literal mile away while it was outrunning your average horse was a pipe dream. And even _if_ you could brave the deafening noise, trying to do so was a 50/50 chance of you being thrown from the vehicle (no seatbelts, roofs, or shocks on roads that would make Russian roads look positively Roman), or throwing a piston rod.
The president of Ukraine had a bit as a comedian that was him being the president of Ukraine. So he committed to a bit so hard he became in charge of a whole country
"What you never committed to a bit so hard you that you found yourself accidentally in charge of a whole state?" *FERB I KNOW WHAT WERE GONNA DO TODAY*
As a Rhode Islander myself, I appreciate you representing us. Most people think we are part of New York 🤦♀️. You are definitely spot on when it comes to how “friendly” we are as a state. Lots and lots of hand signals ☹️
As a Rhode Islander, you should mention the bill that it’s illegal to honk if it’s not a warning. Thank god it’s not passed yet, but pretty skit-worthy. Love your content, especially R.I. You do well and accurate. Keep at it!
I give a Rhode Island hand wave all the time in my new state. I've also had to learn that people actually stop at stop signs, they don't just do the roll through.
Making an audible noise when passing someone on the left used to be the standard. It's still very much in use in rural areas with only 2 lane highways. The protocol is to give a friendly beep of your horn as you enter the oncoming traffic lane and start to overtake the vehicle in front of you. This alerts the other driver that someone is passing. It's particularly useful when multiple people are stacked up behind a slow driver on a 2 lane road. Of course with the expansion of highways and cameras being installed in most cars, this practice isn't as common as it used to be.
Okay as a Rhody born and raised every time you look at someone you just kinda make a "hm" sound or smile. idk if this happens anywhere else but its like "hey I acknowledge your presence". Its only really when you look at someone though. if theres no eyes between your general vacinites and you're not schooching past someone then you just go about your day
I keep hearing “Tiny, audible noise” and imagine Rhode Islanders meep-ing softly at each other on the road.
I'd love that.

“If you did something & someone wants you dead, you gotta deal with that, not the newspaper” In this case the newspaper is not your friend.
Lol
The whole point was of submitting a fake death report to the paper. In the scenario, the paper would, in fact, be your friend.
