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?

Mount one of these in your rear window? Neon style LED wall art script saying “chill”

Real answer: double tap a light (beams, brakes, or hazards) because most things you would say to them are two beat’s long:

  • “Thank you”
  • ”Sorry”
  • “My bad”
  • ”Go on”
  • ”Nice drift”
  • ”You drunk?”

because most things I would say to them are two beats long

LOL. Doesn’t that mean it’s completely ambiguous? There’s plenty of awful things you could say in 2 beats.

I imagine that people flash twice because once could be a mistake, twice demonstrates intent. Three would make me wonder whether it’s an ongoing flashing light.

I think generally one long flash is a negative acknowledgement or warning, 2 quick flashes is positive, and 3 or more is back to negative
I dont think any of that is a generally accepted code.
