Waving While Driving and a zdrah-stvooy to Russia

So today I set my alarm so I think I might get to the DMV on time... we'll find out. I was just reading the state driver's manual when I read this-Gestures: If you want to wave to another driver, please use all of your fingers. Obscene gestures have gotten people shot, stabbed and beaten. Oh goodie. As a first time driver I really want to know I have the options of being both shot, stabbed and beaten in case someone thinks I am flipping them off. Also I was looking at the statistics for people who read my blog (I assumed none) and discovered I have quite a following in Russia. So as a tribute to my new comrades (too soon?) I give you a zdrah-stoovy, which I'm pretty sure means hello, but if not please do not shoot, stab, or beat me. Off to take the permit test, wish me good luck.
