It's much deeper. You find that group of other dad's, in the same mind, no words are spoken but everyone is one the same page of A to B without nonsense. A team of dad's in a pack, look for them on trips and they'll lead you.

I paired up with a rural postal delivery guy driving late at night once and we stayed together until the interstate. Hope he’s still doing okay.

Sometimes in stop-and-go traffic I (in my little roadster) will match speeds with a semi so that cars aren't constantly cutting in front of them and forcing them to brake suddenly. I usually get a friendly wave from them or a flash of the 4-ways. I like to imagine the driver getting on the CB and telling all the other truckers to look out for the "little friend".

Ma'am you're causing an obstruction and they just want you to flash them back. As in, flash them back.
