I’m not sure if this is a 100% f up or not, but I feel so embarrassed if this person got the wrong idea🫠 Last night I was driving home from the grocery store and I noticed someone coming from behind in the right lane while I was in the left, with their lights out. No one was behind me or them so I decided to slow down and try to catch their attention as they drove next to me so I honked quickly a few times and flashed my brights and pointed at their lights. They turned on their lights, but where this becomes a TIFU is my car is old and probably needs the alignment fixed because it does drift to the right as soon as I take my hands off the wheel, and to make matters worse the street we were driving on was curving to the left. So while I was trying to catch their attention I ended up drifting a bit into their lane. I immediately corrected and drove off normally but when I looked in my rear view it looked like they had pulled over into the closest driveway 😭 I immediately wanted to die thinking I had scared them and made them think I was trying to run them off the road.

TL:DR: Tried to catch someone’s attention who had their headlights off driving at night, accidentally drifted into their lane slightly while doing so due to old car and curved road and I think I scared them making them think I was angry and trying to run them off the road 😭
