This is Austin, they NEVER know they messed up. They actually believe that their shitty driving is perfectly acceptable, so, no, that doesn’t work.

Lately my method has been to basically not think about it until I reach my destination and then proceed to take a deep breath, drop a couple loud f bombs, realize i’m safe and proceed with living.

In much of the North East US, when someone puts on a blinker to change lanes, whoever is in that lane speeds up to get ahead of them. It sucks, especially if you’ve driven elsewhere and realize it doesn’t need to be this way.

I just let off the gas and see how long it takes for them to go around.

I’m much more interested in a universal gesture for “oops, sorry!” or “that was my bad, I honestly didn’t see you and apologize, fellow motorist!”

My buddy tells the story of, years ago, accidentally cutting someone off in traffic around Washington D.C. while merging onto the highway during rush hour.

That’s my favorite go to. Pointing and laughing always sends people over the top as well.

I had a guy go in to full meltdown mode when I honked at him for cutting me off. He got next to me and was ranting and raving and all red in the face, though I couldn’t hear a word of it. I blew him a kiss. He paused for a second then went absolutely ape shit.

I drive the speed limit in the slow lane (I’ve learned my le$$on) and faster than the limit when passing in the passing lane/s... OK, Y’all understand that, yeah?

Had a similar situation in a parking garage that park in every day that is shared with the public. The entrace is one way, but has a lane that intersects it with a stop sign. I was pulling into garage and some lady ran the stop sign while trying to go the wrong way, then Honked and started screaming (i could hear her…

“Randomly selected,” I’m sure. Though to be fair, architecture students with knives are mostly a danger to themselves, rather than anyone else.

Meanwhile, 4 years ago in college, my entire junior class flew from Pittsburgh to Boston for a field trip and accidentally smuggled 39 blades (X-Actos and box cutters) through security...both ways. Architecture students generally forget that they always have model-making tools in their bags.

“TSA is there to keep us all safe”

Damn, I see my slightly-too-big tube of toothpaste didn’t make the list this year.

Probably had to get the blinkers replaced. Poor things probably broke after the third use.

This speaks to me on a personal level.
Did you know that the top speed is 185 km/h, whether in 3rd or in 4th gear?

I rent cars for work all the time, and I have an ongoing series with my friends called “Will it donut?”

same here... if anyone happen to be driving around a broken Rogue AWD, sorry.

I keep a mental chart of which rental cars still offer real handbrakes and allow you to fully disable stability control.

I’d share, but I’d never be allowed to rent a car again...
