Rules of the Road???
Some good general rules to ride by but of course they don't always apply. I generally return a wave when encountering other riders. Sometimes it's just a hand lifted off of the left grip when in heavy traffic.

Always Look further ahead - one to two cars, road condition, junctions
Think what is that driver is going to do next - brake, turn at/out of junctions without indicating (LOOKING)
Am I below the speed limit
Opps I am in the wrong gear
 
Watch the front wheel of that stopped car that could pull out in front of you. You'll see it turn much sooner than you'll notice the entire car move. I don't make eye contact (it's not reliable). Watch the wheel. Best tip I've ever learned.

I'd rather have light in my eyes, than theirs. Not really a rule...

Waving is optional, sure, but if you assess the brand of my bike in order to determine if you'll respond, you're a dick, most likely, in all aspects of your life. I'm pretty sure that's one of the laws of the universe.

Edit: #5). See a Rider in Need? Stop...... Yeah, I could have used that one this past weekend.
