Like, if you accidentally cut someone off, and they get mad and honk, how do you apologize?

    I don’t think oncoming traffic “lets” the first car go. It’s more that if the person in the front of the left turn queue is on the ball and ready to go, he’ll scoot out while the oncoming drivers are typically looking up from their instagram or TikTok or whatever and understanding that they need to drive again.

      I’ve done that before when I’m in a hurry, but this was actually people waiting for that initial left turn.

      Also this was back before smart phones, so things may have changed. Culture evolves.
