Now that's insane! I never try to "work with" drivers. Since I don't wear prescription sunglasses it's hard to see a friendly gesture to go through so I always smile and wait it out. I treat vehicles like inanimate creatures and stay out of their way and assume they can't see or acknowledge me.
Giving instructions to a vehicle like that!? Ha good luck!! Just to blast through when you don't have right of way...
