Like, if you accidentally cut someone off, and they get mad and honk, how do you apologize?
Hand up, and bow head.
This. It says, “I acknowledge you are upset, and accept blame.”
Instructions unclear. Ended up doing the wave (like you see at baseball stadiums) alone in a car.
Accidentally dabbed.
Accidently my ass! Stop trying to bring it back!
I have a huge purple dildo. I just start beating myself about the head and shoulders.
What about the “sorry, my bad” while driving though?
You can do that at the same time as beating yourself with the purple dildo
It’s performative self-flagellation, same as you would do in any religious event or office setting. The pink dildo is just for better visibility.
Otherwise known as a catholic penance.

Me: “…the fuck is he doing?”

Flash the hazards twice, also works as a thank you for letting me merge in or whatever, it’s pretty common in the UK.
I have gone to using a single hazard flash when people are in front of me as well instead of flashing high beams(reserved as the head tap equivalent for cars) because I hate when people blind me at night trying to thank me… high beams are way brighter than they used to be.
This is SO true. I let a few people pass at a narrowing in the evening and they sometimes thanked me by blinding me temporarily. Like, I appreciate the gratitude, but just don’t.
Just hit their car slightly with yours. You know, a love tap, to show them love and appreciation. Then show them your extended middle finger, signifying that you are standing with them in solidarity of thinking you’ve made a mistake. If you have a weapon with you, you can hold it up and show them to indicate that you are aware you could be perceived as a threat, but are making the effort to indicate that you aren’t.
Like this 🖕
I pretend to shoot myself in the temple.
Then I put the gun back in the glove box.Back of the hand high and visible through the rear window, fingers and thumb slightly apart to reduce the chances of them thinking your giving them the middle finger (or two fingers in the UK).
Here in the UK, turning on your hazards for a couple of flashes means either “Thank you” or “sorry” to the car following, depending on context.
Someone let you merge in? "Thank you!*
You cut someone off? “Sorry!”
In Sweden they blink left-right-left or right-left-right.
Same here in UK honestly - it’s that or the hazards, they both send the same message :)
I’ve personally observed that drivers of big trucks tend to do the indicator thing, while most people in cars do the hazards. Not sure if there’s a specific trucker reason for that divide! Possibly it’s less easy to reach the hazards in a truck but I don’t know, that’s just a guess!
Same in Germany! I mostly use it to signal „ thank you“ though. Usually the reply is flashing the high beams once very quickly.
Huh. Same in Korea. Which was odd to me when I moved here since I’m from Canada and it is not the practice there.
Weird. You’d think Canadians at least would have a way to say sorry ;P
Ha! The biggest problem with drivers in my hometown is that they’re too polite. It’s dangerous when people don’t take their right-of-way. It causes confusion in drivers who know whose right-of-way it is. It’s also infuriating being stuck behind someone who thinks they’re doing people a favor by sitting at a four-way stop until all traffic disappears instead of taking their proper turn.
Honk louder to assert dominance.
I roll down the window and do the Sorry/ThankYou Wave. 👋
Especially if they DIDN’T honk.
This. I will forgive most driving indiscretions if I see a wave/acknowledgement of wrongdoing.
Middle finger possibly brake check
Sounds like NE USA, but where is the swearing?
I have a 52" screen mounted to the tailgate connected to a laptop on the passenger seat with a bunch of PowerPoints queued up.

Not all of those get a lot of use. I’ve never used SorryNotSorry.pptx, for example
Funny, I know the Sprinter Trueno from either Forza Motorsport 2 or 3, Gran Turismo 3, or Sega GT 2002. It may have actually features in two or all three of those games.
Edit: I would be way too tempted to use the “YouBlindMotherfucker,” one on a cop.
🚬😎🖕
Most people follow and likely understand the manual hazard lights.
Two blinks in the tempo of “I’m sorry”.
I’ve made mistakes before and did so, sometimes they flash one quick blink of high beams to acknowledge.
I thought two blinks was thank you? Are you telling me I’ve been going around apologizing to people for letting me in?
Its contextual, and can be both :)
I use it for thank you as well. OP asked about apologies, I probably should have mentioned it could be both
