Can You Be Sued If You Wave Another Driver Ahead?
Everyone has waved another driver on at one time or another. It happens all the time at intersections or in heavy traffic.

This might make you a nice person. The other driver is undoubtedly grateful, but this also opens you up to legal liability.

If another car comes along and drives ahead after you wave a driver on, hitting the car you just waved into traffic, you could be held partially responsible for the accident.

When juries are looking at car accidents, they have to consider whether or not a defendant has any legal duty of care in a situation.

If you wave another driver through, a jury may decide that you voluntarily took on some additional responsibility for another driver when you waved them into traffic.

Even if it goes against your instincts, and that driver has been waiting to turn for a while, don't try to help them out by waving him or her into traffic.

If the roles are ever reversed, don't accept another driver's wave as assurance that the way is really clear.
