Occasionally when you’re driving, you’ll make a mistake and perhaps need to adjust and it can create some awkward situations. Like today, my dad ended up in the wrong lane to go straight instead of turn at a light. He had to cut in line to make sure we could go the right way. It’d be nice if we could communicate “sorry, I screwed up. Excuse me. I just need to slip in there.”
Right now all we have for inter car communication is the horn, which has kind of an aggressive implication to it. This is for trying to de-escalate potential road rage.
Imagine for a moment you are sitting there, reading this comment, and a stranger comes up and sticks their finger up your nose to look for a bogie. They’ve just done something that minimally inconveniences you for their benefit. It probably didn’t do you any serious damage and almost certainly didn’t kill you. When you ask, ‘what the fuck?’ they say ‘I don’t think sticking my finger in your nose is as big of a deal as you make it sound.’ You didn’t do anything to them. They just decided to do it because they wanted it right now rather than waiting to generate their own. Do you really think you’d take such a philosophical view as to say ‘Oh, well. They, legally, should have just picked their own nose and not invaded my physical space, but it would have taken them time to secrete that mucus so it’s fine.’ I doubt it.
Well picking somebody else’s nose doesn’t really serve you any benefit, so it would be more weird than, say, cutting in line
