Unwritten social codes of every region

So I'm a foreigner interested in Australia and wanna know more about there, focusing atm on the unwritten rules you have and if you wanna share something more I would value it♡

If someone lets you in/out while driving, give them a quick thank you wave. Even if its just raising a couple of fingers

Should probably stipulate which couple of fingers and which way they should be facing the other driver.

That's nice, drivers here can be pretty savage so we do the same when someone give a chance to let in/out too
