Yep, we’ve all been judged — or done the judging — for those unwritten driving rules 😅 Driver’s ed teaches you the law, but the road has its own social contract. Break these and you’ll feel the silent rage from the car behind you. The big 4 everyone notices: 1. The courtesy wave 👋 Someone lets you merge or pull out? You owe them the wave. No wave = instant villain. In the South and Midwest it’s basically mandatory. Two fingers off the wheel counts. 2. Zipper merge T
