To think people don’t just use their car horn to warn people of danger?

[alligatortoss]

Kind of inspired by my recent post but I see this all the time on here. The horn should only be used to warn other drivers of danger.

Can people honestly say they’ve never used their horn when some other driver had been a dick?

I've only ever used mine when someone's been a twat

It should only be used to warn of danger but clearly people don’t. I’m a light flasher when people puss me off but often I use the wrong hand and end up angrily washing my windscreen.

I haven’t used it on other drivers yet, but I haven’t been driving very long. There’s time yet

*piss me off, pussing someone off doesn’t sound pleasant..

I use my horn if someone cuts me up, so yes being a dick, but also dangerous

I sometimes also use my horn when I get too carried away rapping to salt n pepa

I always thought it was to alert others to your presence, so I figure if someone has been a twat and cut me up/whatever they obviously can't have seen me and need alerting that I am there

I don’t think I’ve ever used my horn to warn others of danger. Used it a few times accompanied by shouting or swearing though.

I can't be friends with people who don't use their horn to let a dickhead know they're being a dickhead on the road.

I use it correctly. To alert them to my presence. If I don't how else will they see my glare of death and sad headshake.

The only time I've ever peeped my horn was when somebody pulled out in front of me when I was doing 50 on a single carriage way and I had to absolutely slam my breaks on.

I think it was a mixture of DIDNT YOU FUCKING SEE ME YOU ABSOLUTE DICK HEAD

and also EVERYONE LOOK BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO DIE AND YOU ARE ALL WITNESSES

and also IN PANICKING SO I'M JUST GOING TO HONK MY HORN BECAUSE I'M SCARED.

I used my horn this morning when a driver thought he could move into my lane, he thought I should slow down and let him in, I did not! Especially as i was accelerating off a roundabout.

I have honked teenagers who have stepped into the road!

I only use mine to warn of danger...

...if you keep driving like that you’re in danger of not seeing tomorrow you stupid fucking idiot.

I’m actually so fed up of the drivers around here I’m looking at getting a car camera. I’m going to wear my horn out before my tyres at this rate.

After school today (we live 12 miles away, do we can’t walk) I drove up to the top of the hill from the picking
up at the senior school, top of the hill is a T junction right by the junior school. It’s BUSY as it’s also in a town centre. Lots of cars in the left lane, I’m in the right lane. Traffic trying to turn into the road we were on, busses, cyclists...you name it, it’s all going on. There’s nowhere to go because the lights at the right hand end of the road are on red...this complete WANKER drives up the hill (fast) in between the two lanes of cars, and without even stopping turns right onto the top road, ending up on the wrong side of the road. He missed a teenager on her bicycle by a cigarette paper. A taxi coming the other way did an emergency stop (with kids in his car) and avoided a head on with the WANKER by a hair. An actual human hair.

WTAF was he thinking?!

It sounded a lot like New York.
