The language you use suggests otherwise.

Waving won't help you here at all.

Your posts fail to realize that waving isn't going to do anything to make you safer. You are waving at the wrong people (people who aren't the problem). Wave if you want to but implying that it's useful doesn't make much sense.

I suspect many (if not most) people are doing some form of what you are advocating anyway (even if it's not at the same frequency).
