Honking

I never knew there was a honking horn etiquette. I heard the other day that you should give the person in front of you 4 seconds to move at a stoplight that has just turned green before honking your horn at them.
 
Around here if you don't wait a few seconds before going odds are you are going to be hit. I do not care who is honking behind me, I check that these drivers (and I use that term loosely) have stopped at their light!
 
I heard a preacher from up north talking about the rapture and how all the Christains will be snatched away in a moment....in the twinkling of an eye. He asked everyone if they knew how fast a "twinkling of an eye" was.

He said the best example he could give were the drivers up north. He said, "The twinkling of an eye is the span of time between the light turning green and the guy behind you blowing his horn" :laugh

Yeah, I was gonna say that this horn etiquette would depend on if you're in the north or the south. Daddy and I flew up to CT one Labor Day weekend (Mother was working) and rented a car and tooled around New England. Horns were the least of things hurled at us...obscene gestures, the f-word...you name it. And I'm a good driver, and actually nearly as aggressive as New York drivers!
 
I don't use the horn. :girlsaysno Well, unless I'm letting an idiot know he almost hit me. Common courtesy, just another thing gone by the wayside. :sermon

:agreed I have actually set thru another red light b/c I didn't want to sound my horn. I'm in no hurry anyway. lol

Same!

I forget about having a horn sometimes. There's been a few instances when I should have used it, but used my mouth instead. :laugh. :soashamed
 
I love a good horn. But, mine has a short in it and it goes out when I LAY on the horn. I have the fuses but just forget to change them, so I mostly just yell at the idiots who do stupid things. Stupid things... hurriedly pulling out in front of me and then driving 10 MPH under the speed limit, changing lanes without looking to see me right beside them.

I'm a horn blower, headlight flasher, finger pointer, screamer, and brake checker... In Atlanta traffic, it's called self defense... :whistle

Oh please, they both use them - they're so slow, it will take YEARS before they actually catch up to each other (and by then, they will never remember what they wanted to see the other about).

You realize you're saying this to the guy who does 3-5 miles a day on the treadmill, and has a truck with a 400 HP race motor in it. ;)
