Do you beep your horn when you're in stuck traffic?


If so, why? What do you think is going to happen?

Edit: by 'stuck traffic', I mean in a jam that no one in your vicinity can do anything about. I don't mean just having some moron in front of you who apparently doesn't know what green signifies - or has forgotten where they are because they're busy making sure the attention the world owes them is still flowing from the little screen that dominates their life.

No such thing here in Vermont...But the answer would be no!

Yes, I do. A lot of these idiots are playing with their phones, holding up traffic and causing a delay. I can see them doing it and they need to pull over or pay attention. An average vehicle is close to two tons of steel and glass, it's a weapon that can certainly kill. Get off the goddam phone or get off the road.

I drive through some bad neighborhoods and deal with a lot of highway driving every workday, I have ZERO patience for dummies behind the wheel.

Same here. I'll road rage(if there are no visible cops)

Signed, million man.

I was out a week ago with a friend, and while she was driving, I noticed a majority of drivers looking at their phone.. Usually the ones swerving, not realizing the light is green, etc.

reply

By stuck traffic I did mean in a jam that no one in your vicinity can do anything about, I should have been clearer

reply

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood you.
No, in a legit traffic jam when there's construction or an accident up ahead I just sit there fuming like everyone else. Honking won't speed things up and I don't want to unduly aggravate people. What good comes of that?

Tired Of Traffic? New DOT Report Urges Drivers: 'Honk'

No but I sure as hell like to honk it when other people honk at each other.

I hope I'm doing my part, no matter how small, to show them what asses they're being.

reply

In the NYC area some of these dipshits honk the exact second the light turns green, it's truly obnoxious.
I wonder if it's the same in other large, congested urban areas.

reply

Not where I am. But in Canada we're a little more polite, so there's that.

reply

The only time I use my horn is to let someone know that they almost hit me, or if they are at a green light and not going

reply

Ditto.

reply

No, of course not. It doesn't do any good and it just irritates everyone around me.

reply

So true. I've been watching a few of the just stop oil clips, and when people are laying on their horns I'm bothered just watching a video, what's it like for everyone there in the area?
Some of those road blocking people are ready to get run over, you think your horn's going to bother them? Shut up and stop annoying everyone else with your racket!

reply

I do, but my horn actually does have teleportation powers, so it makes sense.

reply

No, I never fuck my horn in public.
