Do not count courtesy taps for a green light. We're talking a solid "BRAAAAAAAAAAA"
On the way to work, some idiot tried to back out of their driveway in a 35 and almost hit me, they got the horn. No creeping either just "Well time to back out without looking at 10mph" Then I'm getting lunch, and there's a guy doing 45mph on the interstate. No big deal, I see him a mile away and proactively change lanes. As I'm passing him going 60, this old man just starts lazily drifting into my lane. Anyways, I don't think I've had a two horn day in a long time. I probably go months without using my horn. I bet we have some blasters on here though.

All the time.
Something about country roads and morons who cross over the center lines coming at you head-on. I can't make it down my main road without a life-flashes-before-my-eyes experience. Someone just got killed out here(turned out to be DUI in the middle of the day) but it's a horrible problem here in central VA. It's a felony to throw things at vehicles, otherwise I'd have a bag of donut holes for these people. |

About once a week to avoid accidents not to point out the ass-holes in traffic doing dumb-ass things.
(it would never shut off if I used it for that) |

Hardly ever....
Why? Because modern vehicles suck. Anyone else with a Wrangler JK that has that annoying delay between the time you hit the horn to the time it makes a noise. "Horn-by-wire" I guess..... |

He's 6'7" so he has a long ass wingspan. It's hilarious. |

People here cannot stay in lanes for some reason. I took to installing a pair of Hella Super Tones in my daily driver. They get attention. |

At least once, often several times every day.
I honk at anyone who appears to be inattentive. The most common situations are 1) people failing to look the right direction and running a stop sign and 2) people looking at hand-held devices. I wore out the factory horns on my 1998 Nissan Pathfinder. I replaced them with a junkyard-scored pair from an old Mercedes. They're REALLY loud. |

A lot.
You have to be on your game driving here in SoCal. I don’t think I used it yesterday, but I definitely did the day before when some idiot veered into my lane to get around left turning traffic that was backed up in their lane. |

Too often. Mainly people sitting at green lights in front of me, glued to their God damn phone.
The other thing is, to get to work, I have to make a right turn going west and turning north, at a continuous flow intersection. East West traffic gets ONE green light. North south traffic is heavy as hell at that time of the morning, so turning right on a red light is almost impossible. Left and right turners are supposed to turn at the same time on green. A thing happens so regularly at this intersection that I have to use my horn constantly. Sometimes I lay on it, if the fucker in front of me just won't go. What happens is, a lot of people sit at the green light and DONT turn, because they're afraid of the left turners swinging wide. Some of them do. You have to time your right turn, so that the left turner into the middle lane can clearly see you, and would be on your rear quarter panel once you both turn. Anyway, it drives me nucking futs having these ignorant drivers who don't know what a damn green light means wasting my time. MS Paint for reference.

Once a month, if that. If there’s a problem that I can’t just wait out, I’m typically too busy driving my way out of it to blow the horn.
|

The biggest issue here is dumbasses who want to wait until they're five feet from the intersection to cut over into the left turn lane. I guess they have full faith and credence in their insurance carrier.

Not often, but when I do, I try to use it long enough to both annoy the offending driver and let them and other drivers know what a jackass the offender is. Like..a horn beep long enough for my wife to yell at me.

Maybe once or twice in 5 years.
It takes something really stupid and dangerous to make me honk. But if I do, it's "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!" |

I used it just the other day for the first time in a blue moon. Car full of kids stopped at a green light, driver was texting. Retards! I would have preferred a mag dump into the air to refocus their attention but that probably wouldn't have been appropriate.

I am generally amazed at how little people in DC and NoVA use their horns.
I think it's because the traffic is SO terrible, that everyone's will has been broken, and they have resigned themselves to the "oh well, I'll get there when I get there" mindset . People honk a LOT more in all of the other places I have lived and regularly drive. (Which include St. Louis, Chicago, Nashville and Orlando/Space Coast).
