Guy had totaled his car. He was bemoaning the loss of his beemer. When someone pointed out that he had lost his arm, he started whining about losing his Rolex.

But what I exemplify may not be so much courtesy as fear. I'd rather follow the rules and be nice to other drivers than deal w/ auto insurance companies.

I slow down to let people merge.
I get *some* that acknowledge it. Most don't.
I think of my son's, who just started driving, and how

I let people in.

But my mom's 2017 Subaru has a backup camera. It beeps if you try to change lanes without signaling.
