Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?
Septimaeus@infosec.pub 5 hours agoLOL. Doesn’t that mean it’s completely ambiguous?
Well granted, it’s high-context communication. But I’m willing to bet you’d know what I meant if you were trying to merge and I double-tapped lights.
Three would make me wonder if it’s an ongoing flashing light.
Yeah IME three is less general, usually reserved for a problem or need for caution, like if someone is driving at night with all their lights out or a visible chassis/drivetrain issue, or there’s a cop/wreck ahead.

Yeah if you’re in the lane I’m merging into then two taps means “it’s ok for you to merge in because there’s enough room for you”. That’s more than 2 beats though.
Maybe you mean “o kay” or “yes merge” or “no stop” or “look out” or “nice car”
