Yes I believe the AA stopped the salute after they felt that it was too risky on the road.

Ha! The AA salute was a thinly disguised warning of a police speed trap - only in those days it must have been based on the policeman's judgment of your speed, and how fast he believed you were going!
IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

I've had waves from modified Jimnys when away but only modified ones.

Hahah! I almost spat my tea out reading that
Coming from the SAAB fraternity - it seemed to be only the drivers of SAAB convertibles that waved back,
Motorcyclists always used to flash the light or wave (I know - I was one!) but I don't see them doing that any more - not even so much as a nod as they pass each other these days

Heheh - that made me smile - I caught myself waving at SAAB on the way back from the MOT while driving the Jimny yesterday and felt a proper fool. The SAAB driver must have thought I knew him or something.
Good to know the biker fraternity are keeping a tradition going though
