If it’s just a button that flashes “Sorry!” then maybe. Anything beyond that will a) create distraction for the driver and / or b) just be used to say “go fuck

- Dzugaru 7y agoDon't know about other countries, but in Russia we say sorry all the time flashing hazard lights briefly. Pretty much every driver on the road knows that.
- Teckla 7y agoThis is a great idea. Every once in a while, I want to say "I'm sorry" to someone in another car, and I'm not sure how. Currently, I wave and grimace, but I'm not sure that gets the message across. I wonder what it would take for something like this to spread across the globe as the standard way to say "I'm sorry" to someone in another vehicle.
- robocat 7y agoI would say about 75% of people that give me a non-verbal "sorry" or shrug have just knowingly been arseholes i.e. really not sorry at all. Perhaps a "thank you" is the right tone - something that encourages better social interactions. Although you can get thumbs up "thank you" from arsehole drivers too: it's not just angry drivers that are selfish. One of my favourite stories is a little old lady that prangs into my stopped vehicle - and then does a runner - bless her.
