Just for the record I am against rules and regulations. In fact I think we should have a rule about that.
How about a special Carpe handsignal. I propose when you see another TDM, you make index and 2nd finger into a V and thrust upwards in a friendly greeting.

If it's a 900 rider, you'll need to be close behind him before you do that.
