Failed to doff my cap to car occupants
Was almost home and eventually made the right turn into the estate road despite cars at and opposite the junction. As I made my way along the the side road and going past a few cars on the opposite side of the road, an old vauxhall appeared from the other way so I made sure there was no room to squeeze through.
The response was V signs from the passenger as they had to stop. I hope they don't drive given how close the parked cars were to the junction, the parked car opposite the junction and hence the need to approach slowly.
I suppose it's 'share the space' or something that I failed to do.

Some models have a front section that you can remove and rotate to permit the dipped beam while mounted upside down.

You did share the space. You had your turn, now it's theirs.....
One morning walking out of the village on a 30 mph road, I heard a car coming up behind way too fast , I half turned and gave the upturned "query" palm gesture. No prizes for guessing the return gesture in the windscreen.
It was a young guy, driving a newish white Fiat 500 with his girlfriend; my wife said it was futile, but I live in hope that there might be a realisation, an unravelling, possibly borne out of self-preservation, that this guy gets a kick out of causing upset everywhere he goes.
Shame on you making someone in a 1 ton metal box have to slow down for 3 seconds, you know you should have disappeared into thin air the instant they wanted to use the piece of road you were on. I expect the driver explained to his passenger the error of his ways.
I did the weekly shop by car today and carefully noted the gap left and right as I passed the parked cars. I would have had to have hopped on the pavement.
