Like, if you accidentally cut someone off, and they get mad and honk, how do you apologize?

    Same in Estonia, seems continent-wide basically.

    Truck gives you 2-3 flashes of the right (left in the UK I suppose) turn signal in the middle of the road, they want you to pass because the road’s clear and they don’t want a convoy forming behind them. So you pass and flash the hazards to thank them. Sometimes they’ll flash their brights as “you’re welcome” during daytime.

    We can be completely self-centered assholes on the road, but we keep our common courtesy.

      In America I do the turn signal hint as well. It seems no one gets the context, even when I can tell by their behavior (body language)?

      That they desperately want to pass, and I want them to pass before I do (left lane is open).
