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.

This was my exact thought.

People who drive like they walk are either too stupid or ignorant to understand that there are over 3 LITERAL TONS of force being used to "just-squeeze-by, pardon-sorry."

To quote questionably-ethically-dubious Louis CK, "BuT ThAt'S nOt My FaVoRiTe WaY!!!

If you missed your turn, that sucks, now you spend an extra 2 - 4 minutes going the long way around.

Be better,, drive better, pay more attention. If you got unlucky and the road or signage sucks, oh well.
