How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? - Lemmy.World

Like, if you accidentally cut someone off, and they get mad and honk, how do you apologize?

Wave like an idiot, and pray they don’t have a gun.
I remember not feeling in a good mood and I was sitting in the passenger seat and I pressed the steeing wheel to do the BEEP thing, cuz the car in the front wasn’t moving when they’re supposed to (like I think maybe red light just turned green or something and I was tired and wanna go home), and my parents was like “don’t fucking do that, Americans are crazy, they get easily pissed off and they’ll fucking shoot us dead”
