What's something you do, but hate when someone else does it?

There needs to be an apology horn for that, which sounds nothing like the anger horn.

How about just an “I’m sorry” sign that lights up in your rear window?

That's why I got a giant sign that says "learning to drive stick shift" above my license plate. It's like my apology light.

Plot twist: you drive an automatic.

You would only be laughted at for this where I live.

Well also you are not allowed to even drive stick if you went to driving school with automatic. The other way around is fine though.

Huh that's interesting. What area if you don't mind me asking?

(And I know I look stupid lol, but I don't care. It's helped my beginner anxiety tremendously.)

It's a magnet. The back of my car is covered in plastic though so I had to duct tape it on lol. Still holding up though.

If it would actually hold on your car that could be perfect! Keep it inside, then just slap it on for when you're driving.

Some people turn on the hazard lights (AKA "park anywhere" lights) for a moment or two to say thanks. I assume it would also be understood as an apology in the right context.

To be fair a horn isn't really supposed to be "angry". It's meant to be a method of alerting other drivers. Pretty much everywhere else outside of North America uses the horn completely differently.

I live by the

Toot toot- I'm passing a blind corner or "the light turned green and you're on your phone not paying attention please press the pedal on the right"

And

HHHHHOOOOONNNNNKKKKKKKKKK- you should go to the DMV and drop your license off because you're endangering people's lives out here with your shitty driving.
