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?”
I’ve mostly seen the double-flick of lights to mean either “Go ahead, make your move, I see you and I won’t hit you” (to pedestrians or someone waiting to turn into/out of a driveway in heavy traffic) or “turn on your lights you idiot, it’s pouring rain.” But it’s always heavy traffic in Southern California, and it never rains, but man, it pours.
