Sure they do, Seinfeld did a bit on it but sometimes, it doesn't happen especially when driving in NYC. Can you imagine? People would just drive with their hands up in the air all the time.

The Good Samaritan
(Jerry is driving alone talking on his car phone to Elaine at home in her
bed)
Elaine: You know it's bad enough you have a car phone, you have to use the
speaker?
Jerry: It's safer! Plus it's more annoying to the other person.
(Driver cuts in front of Jerry)
Jerry: Oh look at this guy.
Elaine: What's goin' on?
Jerry: Oh there's a guy trying to get in front of me, he has to ask
permission. Yes. Go ahead. Get in, get in.
Elaine: Did you get a thank you wave?
Jerry: No, nothing. How could you not give a thank you wave? Hey buddy!
Where's my thank you wave?
(Jerry sticks his head out the window)
Jerry: Give me that wave!
