I thank people on narrow roads. Also when merging, even though it is my turn to go in. If enough people do it, it might catch on. It takes very little effort.
Someone should invent a "Thanks" light. I'd get one.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

better to have someone who knows your intentions than be pissed off at you for all the wrong reasons

I pretty much thank and give out a wave/hand gesture whenever I can, like when they let me cut in or merge in their lanes or at a intersection. Even when it's raining and cold outside, I'll roll down my window a little and stick my hand out as a "thank you" gesture for a second then roll the windows back up ASAP  | |

After you get cut off by someone, the wave they do doesn't mean "sorry", it means "meh" Posted via RS Mobile | |

I rarely do it. I only do it if I know I fucked up and cut him off unintentionally. but that's not "thanks" now is it?
In narrow roads and stuff I play chicken.......j/k I usually am the one that pulls over.

I honestly do it as often as I can... when people let me pass, or let me merge, etc. Even when my windows were tinted i'd put my window down so I could gesture out the window... A simple gesture often goes a long way

A simple gesture often goes a long way | Exactly, just roll the window down and stick out the wave. I know when people do it to me I appreciate it so I always try and do it.
