its a dangerous world outside the kitchen

its interesting how they do that in EU, flash the left and right signal light, in Hong Kong and some other countries they flash the hazard light a few times

@mlps93 There's no "rule" how to say "Thank you" here. Everybody does it the way he likes ;)

I don't know if you've flashed your highbeams at that truck or not but anyway you made it very clear for him that it was ok to merge. This is a driving style I love! Courtesy! Courtesy! Courtesy! And just tell me doesn't it fell good when you can make life easier for another driver and to be appreciated for it. It doesn't take that much, does it? Great job! Thanks

@ralphrs6 I flashed my highbeams.^^

And yes, it is a great fealing if I get a "Thank you" gesture =)

3.) Diese Art "Danke" zu sagen wird bei uns auch so praktiziert (häufig durch Warnblinker oder der links-rechts Kombi) und wenn ich es mal erlebe, ist es immer wieder eine Freude und auch eine Bestätigung für einen. =)

@MichiPlayer Das ganze ging dann ja noch weiter. Nur habe ich keine Kamera nach hinten. Als ich vorbei war, gab er mir nochmal eine Lichthupe, ich antwortete mit den Warnblinkern, und dann bekam ich nochmal eine Lichthupe. War insgesamt eine sehr lustige Situation. Die anderen Autofahrer dachten bestimmt "die spinnen...". =)

Nicht alle LKWs bedanken sich. :-) Nette Videos.

ergh! hate those slow mergers, I deal with it half of the time I get on the freeway but I dont get on it that often!

damn that close call was pretty crazy and surprised it wasnt a crash as im sure the other car getting off didnt see it at all!

great captures!
