Of course, one should remember he may have an off camera flash, so to speak.

I use my mirrors and adjust them to reflect their car lights back at them, most people back off real quick. Love the photo though, that's funny. (is he talking on a phone with his other hand?)

Of course he is! What you can't see is he has a sandwich on his lap that he is eating too.

one hand on wheel, one hand holding camera up thru sunroof. see my roof in lower section of pic. Actually he backed off as soon as the camera appeared, which enabled me to snag the plate # as well (i removed here). prior he was too close to even get the plate in the pic.

Okay. I could not figure out how you did it. I didn't think of a sunroof.
Good idea to carry a camera with you all the time.

My wish is to have a horn that sounds like locked-up brakes, squealing tires - just for those occasions.

Yep, he was definitely saluting you with his middle finger. One hand holding the phone and the other resting on the steeering providing you with with his kind gesture.
