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

    I don’t, because being polite while driving is being unpredictable and that makes things more dangerous.

    Instead I do what I want others to do which is just do a better job of paying attention and driving consistently. Making mistakes happen, just refocus and avoid making more.

      This was me when I got off work today. I was trying to pass someone in front of me on the highway and signaled to move into the left lane. Did my usual couple seconds, saw nobody in my mirrors, and proceeded to move. Ended up cutting someone off that was in my blind spot. They honked and tried to run me off the road in response. I just kept driving like normal cause what happened happened. Dude followed me all the way back to my exit, so I decided instead of going home I’d drive through town. He eventually gave up and turned around to get back on the highway.
