    I wish there was a way to do the opposite of giving the finger to drivers who let you merge, for example. But they're behind you. So you have no way of acknowledging their gesture. And you have no way of giving them the thumbs up or expressing a 'thank you' somehow. So you merge in and drive as if nothing happened. All privileged and sh*t. Is it just me?

    • Make a note of their registration, find their details and write them a nice letter or send them a cake.Fax_Benson
    • Wouldn’t it be great if you could just send a nice message to a car in your vicinity at will? I think about that often.monospaced

    • In some countries briefly flashing the hazards does the trick, probably more common than the finger, in those countrieswckd
    • @wckd good to know! what countries? I want to make sure it doesn't mean "F U!" in some other countries. HaH!Krassy
    • don't people put up their hand open as a wave? isn't that enough? Either out the window or in the center of your car?BabySnakes

    • @BabySnakes Hmm. Thought of using, but could be misinterpreted as a flip off, or as a wave that you wanted to merge differently , or as stop, or as smthn elseKrassy
    • @mono think how many people would have the word ‘cunt’ and not ‘thanks’ as a direct message to any driver that in the vicinity hahaIanbolton
    • Or flip them the finger anyway for being a sucker and letting you inFax_Benson
