Reminds me of something I saw a few times on the highways outside of Tokyo a few years ago. An impatient driver cuts off another driver; the driver who had been cut off gestures an apology, as if to say "Excuse me for being so rude as to put you in a position in which you felt it necessary to cut me off."
Heh. And in Britain, you can get people to say "Sorry" by stepping on their foot.
