To think that there's rarely an excuse for beeping at people in the car?

Coming back from school run turning right at a t junction, cars were flying down the main road both ways so no opportunities for me to go. Car behind me wants to go left, the road is too narrow to let him past and he'd have unlikely been any quicker anyway. I'm talking the space of 20 seconds.

Big burly bloke behind starts beeping, waving his arms sticking his fingers up, saying shouting which I couldn't hear.

I still couldn't go because of the traffic so was stuck there with him honking and yelling.

I really don't know what his problem was, I went at the first opportunity, and even if he thought I was too hesitant, is there really any need to act like that? I find it intimidating and a bit frightening.

I honestly never beep at people, I've had people pull out in front of me, I've had people literally walk out in front of me, cut me up on islands. I really can't be bothered to beep and shout I just figure they've made a mistake.

My first ever car had the most ridiculously feeble horn - it would go 'peep peep!' like I was driving bloody Noddy's car. Have had a horn aversion ever since, never use it now.

sometimes people stall at a light or can't get car into 1st gear. it isn't dangerous more inconvenient and is a few seconds going to make that much difference. I hate it when someone hoots but not at you, it's unnerving and distracting
