Yes, I've noticed that the first few words have a huge impact when meeting strangers under stressful conditions.
Ever apologize for your poor driving?

Nope. You did the good thing. Steady as she goes on the good path.
Keep on keepin' on.
Which one???
This is what I preach to all my customers and all the new riders...
Too many people on the road are harboring little balls of anger just
waiting to unload on someone they feel has wronged them... beware and
practice these two steps in order to ride home safe...
First and foremost is self preservation... keep control of yourself
and your motorcycle... refrain from actions that may take away your
escape route... A rider should ride with an absolute command of ones
temper and not to provoke the anger of any stupid cager because no
passion so effectively robs the mind of all its powers of reasoning as
anger... using anger like club drives people mad to the point where no
one has control... least a venerable rider exposed to perverted
traffic... so before you start World War 3 on the open highway with
your criminal antics by kicking a car door or throwing objects... go
over what MSF taught you about always having an escape route to avoid
the consequences of cagers mistakes... always anticipate the moves of
cagers and never loosing your temper while riding... because a cager
wandering near you is only an assault on your comfort zone... it's not
an physical assault... MSF teaches you to anticipate and maneuver to
safety... MSF does not teach mortal combat... nothing heats up an
argument more on the perverted road like the rubbing of two vehicles
together...
Second... to defuse any escalating highway rage situation just assign
yourself all the blame... a gesture like smacking your helmet is
symbolic speech that's universally understood "I made a mistake" after
which you will see a immediate relaxing of tensions between you and
the errant cager... use this time to maneuver away from the threat..
