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

  If they honk and get mad? Usually with the middle finger.

  I find that rolling over and showing my belly, while impractical, is reliably effective at diffusing these situations.

  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”

  The middle finger. It has to be that.

  Bow down slightly, lift your hand slightly like a weak wave, show a little humility in your eyes if they meet.

  Usually I point at them aggressively to get their attention and then start miming Gluck glucking to show them how much of a dumb whore I am.

  I don’t think it’s working though, usually they just flip me off and look real angry.

  I’ve seen people put both hands up a little above the steering wheel and that was probably the clearest way I’ve seen.

  Usually just a wave, but I’ll give a full blown “I have no idea what I’m doing!” shrug if I REALLY messed up.

  I’ve had this thought before. Like we’ve got dozens of ways to show insult or anger with a hand gesture, but no universal way to apologize with one

  It’s a big cliche and doesn’t work anywhere else…

  But in Hawaii you can literally do anything you want on the road, as long as you throw up a shaka after.
