Just wondered how you can apologise to another driver from your car.
On Friday, I 'accidentally' pulled out in front of a car while coming onto the M4. I was completely in the wrong, however honestly did not see the car in the slow lane. I proceeded to put my hand up to apologise, but it seemed to just infuriate the driver into flashing his lights continously for about 2 miles. I couldn't get away due to the heavy traffic, and when he finally went past me I put my hand up again to say sorry, but had to brake as he tried to remove the front end of my car, followed by many hand jestures.
I think we really need some universal apology signal for driving, as sometimes we make honest mistakes and very sorry. I almost flashed my hazards, but thought it may look like I was intentionally winding him up.
sigh[16]
