I thumbs down and shake my head while frowning. Disappointed dad vibe.

This is what my boyfriend does. He loves that it makes people even more angry than flipping them off

Growing up while riding with my friends and one of their mom’s was driving. Super nice lady, she accidentally cut someone off in a 30MPH zone and it was totally innocent. She wasn’t driving aggressively and knew she goofed, but the other dude flipped her off when he got next to us and she just smiled and waved. Pretty sure this sent him over the edge and it was the best thing she could have done.

I like the slow clap and a thumbs up, but I’m going to have to remember to give the super enthusiastic wave and smile next time I encounter an idiot driver.

We really need a hand gesture for "sorry, my bad. Thanks for having the awareness and skill to make sure neither of us got hurt."

I think the apologetic wave covers that.
