Horn, do you use it?
just talking with some people and they made me feel like i was a horn **** or something. Alright i am impatient (perhaps the jersey in me) but only with people that dont know what the hell theyre doing on the road. Ive got a short fuse when people do dumb **** and i let them know about it.
ie...bumper to bumper traffic, i go through the intersection and the person in front of me leaves like 3 car lengths between him and the next guy so theres cars behind me that are stuck in the middle of the intersection. Im like WTF, have some consideration and pull up so those people arent stuck in the intersection as the light changes. Needless to say I lay on the horn. People just dont think of anybody but themselves on the road.
i use my horn atleast once a day, anybody else use it since thats what its there for.

I'm a horn **** as well. I have a hate passion for those who don't think of other drivers and don't know what the hell they are doing. Traffic is a prime example:
Right lane is the slow lane right?
NO! People in the left lane have to leave two tractor trailer lengths between all cars. Man...ticks me off.

i dont use the horn often but when i do i lay on it for literally a good 45 seconds before i let off just so the person gets the idea that they did something retarded
You're not supposed to enter an intersection until you know it's clear. If those people behind you entered the intersection without it first being clear (or soon to be) then that's their bad. Granted the guy in front should pull up... but from the sounds of it... his head was in the same place as the rest of the impatient people behind you. Not your loss... no big deal.
****ty drivers annoy me too...it gets especially bad around christmas time... but eventually you learn to live with the fact that the average american sucks ***** at driving. When you drive for a living and spend most of your day on the road.... you see so much stupid **** you eventually stop caring too much.
Generally the only time I let people know my extreme displeasure is when they put my life in danger (and others) due their negligence or ignorance. Like for instance it's raining out. You're minding your own business, driving safely, and doing the speed limit. Out of nowhere someone pulls out directly in front of you and makes you test out your antilock brakes and perform an evasive maneuver to keep from hitting them. Only to find out that the ethnically challenged WOMAN was too busy talking on the PHONE to notice that it was not clear to pull out..... that kind of **** makes me want to bust windows.
Earlier this year I was on the interstate... traffic was thick but moving along... I was next to this car and partially in its blind spot, but due to traffic there wasn't much I could do about that..... this lady apparently got impatient with the rate of speed in her lane and flung her vehicle into my lane. I had a split second to react. Had I not been in the Z I would have undoubtedly got nailed(no telling how many other people would have wrecked as a result). She missed me/I dodged her by no more than an inch or two. Once the woman realized that she just about caused a wreck.... she busted out laughing. For some reason she was really proud and amused with herself. Talk about testing a guys patience.

i used to drive a LARGE delivery truck and ive seen people do alot of dumb stuff(getting cut off with 15,000lbs of weight in the back to slow down is not fun) and i still havent gotten used to it.
i know what you're saying about the intersection but in bumper to bumper everyone is going through the light if its green...people just dont think, it just as well could have been him stuck in the intersection.

I don't use my horn. If someone cuts me off or do something dumb in traffic I usualy get them back in a worse way. I know it's a dumb thing to do but that is just me. I'm a forgiveful and easygoing person in real life but in traffic I'm an a**hole and I'm very competitive.

STAY OUT OF THE LEFT LANE IF YOU ARENT PASSING!!!!!!
Thank you, I needed that.
In Iowa, nobody honks. In fact, I see cars who just sit there and do nothing when the light turns green and the car infront of them does not move. I honk sometimes but it feels weird cause I know I'm the only person in the city who's honking and everybody stairs at me like i'm crazy.

+1 on the phone not paying attention will get the horn even quicker. used it this morning actually for that, lady sitting at the light visor mirror open(putting on makeup or somehting) phone in the other hand...wasnt paying attention to the light change...i dont wait, i honk...immediately
I'd rather react and get out of the way of something. Honking normally never works, and always used way too late to allow anyone to react or hit the brake. I have a feeling the horn is the reason for most accidents, for most people freeze or jump when they hear it.
IMO -- you must react and do something about a situation, other than sit back and yell at it.

There are a lot of complete idiot drivers around here. I have only used it to honk at them when they practically run me off the road. So, it has to be a really reckless to get my horn.
Bumper to Bumper I do not worry about. I just sit there. Nobody is going anywhere and honking my horn won't help.
No more than once a week. Hardly use it. Can't remember using it in the last two weeks.
