For example, I’m a white Jewish guy but I’ve adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

    I heard that some Japanese drivers flash their hazards as a thank you and it sounded like a cool idea, so I’ve been doing that since.

    Probably illegal, but a neat way to thank the car behind you that let you through. Just a couple quick flashes and that’s it, obviously don’t leave them on for a long time.

      We started doing so here in Singapore. Even our public busses flash hazard lights twice to convey a thank you sometimes now. In the context of someone giving way to you.

      But on a highway when there’s a sudden slowdown in front, we turn on the hazard lights to convey “dude slow down the dude in front is being weird”. Especially useful when there’s torrential downpours.

          Not sure, haven’t been in any that I’ve driven so far. Our cars always have some lag between the latest tech and what’s actually being sold for some reason (tho arguably it’s getting better).
