The "Sorry Signal"

Alright...so I talked about this on my show last night and I thought that I should come up with a picture.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, let me explain.

The other day I was leaving Hudsonville and was on the entrance ramp to the highway. I like a little speed...so by the time I reached the highway, I was already going 70.

However...traffic was a little full on the highway. There were 2 semi trucks in the right lane and a continuous flow of traffic in the left. I fit right between the 2 semi trucks...although wasn't really comfortable with that.

Anyway...I wanted to get around the semi in front of me because he was going like 60 mph, and I had to slow down from 70. So I looked quickly and went to merge into the left lane, when I double checked I noticed a car and swerved back. Oops.

This is where my idea comes in. It was a "not-so-bright" move and I felt pretty lame about it. So it got me thinking...what if cars had "Sorry Signals" built into them. I pictured it kind of like a turn signal, only it's for apologizing for something you did that probably wasn't the best idea.

This is what I thought it would look like.



I imagine it to light up really, really bright to make sure people see it. I really don't believe it'll catch on, but I am sorry for being impatient on the road.
