Get a big pizza delivery light up sign for on top your car that says sorry to all the people behind you.

or... rent billboard space near your driveway w/ a similar message

or...get out of your car every night, in the middle of traffic and walk back to personally apoligize to everyone.

or....if you still feal bad...go past your driveway , turn around and turn Right into your driveway!

If none of these work...... give me 10 points and call me in the morning! You will feel better almost instantly Knowing you helped someone as corny as me and you'll get 3 points too!

Answer 4

Some people are sensitive to the needs of others. I am like that also. You just have to stand your ground and realize that at times someone might have to do the same to you while driving and might feel the same as you. No big deal. Just be careful and breathe deeply to avoid getting into a stress attack.

Answer 5

I hear yah.... But you know what they say... Two wrongs do not make a right.... But three rights do make a left.

and if that isnt' possible. Just croud into the center so they can go around you.

If there is anyone there that still is pissy about you turning left... Ta he11 with them. Why should you care... You are home. hahaha

Answer 6

Either moveto a new home or go down to the next traffic light turn around then come back home or get over the bleeding heart guilt trip YOU ARE GOING HOME just like every body else.

Answer 7

Could you arbitrarily go around the block so that you're now making a right turn instead?

In any case, people just have to understand that that's the nature of traffic, and even if they honk, you're obviously waiting because other cars are in your way, you're keeping yourself and the people around you safe! You're doing a GOOD thing!

Answer 8

It might be that you want to please people too much and not offend them, although I can understand that you want to be gracious and courteous.

I think that as long as it's not REALLY long, that it wouldn't hurt the people behind you to exercise some patience, and you probably need to give them the opportunity to do that and be gracious to you.

So, I think I would reocmmend resisting the temptation to feel guilty, while understanding that you're giving them an opportunity to develop patience, one of the greatest of all virtues.

Answer 9

Everybody who drives a car holds up other drivers at some point.

It's part of driving a car.
