Give them a peace sign for letting me in or helping me out. But if they are being a jackass, especially when someone doesn't let me merge it's on less finger.

I always thank ppl if they let me in or if its down a narrow street and they let me pass. But I never or very rarely get a thanks when I let someone in or let someone pass. Drivers are getting less considerate of everyone.

I used to do it a lot... but I'm starting to get lazy.
Although it's not mandatory, to me, it's a given driving code that during a construction merge, you let one in, you go, next guy lets one in, then he goes, etc.
It's when either the idiot in front of me lets in 2 cars, or the 2nd guy tries to force into the merge, then that pisses me off.
Or when two cars don't let me merge in.

I do it all the time. It doesn't take much for me to throw my hand up as a gesture and in turn it does so much more then people think. Like OP said I know if somebody does something stupid to me I get road rage but if they at least acknowledge that they did something stupid and just say my bad with a hand gesture i'm cool with it.

Flash the hazards so they get a chance to slow down and not rear end me.

I try to do it as much as I can..
-Letting me merge
-Waving me through
All kinds of tiny things as it actually puts me in a better mood when I receive a tiny little hand gesture so I try and do the same!

Whenever its obvious the other person is being nice. e.g. when trying to merge into a busy lane from a petrol station or when he moves over to the side in those narrow lanes where the home owners decide to park on the road instead of using their garage.

its good to see you guys doing that as well. but in the last couple years, i've seen less and less thank-you's by other drivers out there. they just seem to cut you off and don't give a shit.

I'll have to remember the sudden traffic stop thing, that sounds like a pretty good idea since people in Vancouver have a tendency to not pay attention to anything.
