People who use their horn I consider lowly trash.
I only use mine when I lock the vehicle. |

Used mine plenty in that state. Hawaii? Those crazy asses will straight beat your ass for honking at them. A middle aged dude in a minivan with his kids wanted to fist fight my wife over one beep.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fact. What's up with that? I-15 along the Wasatch Front is terrifying. Left lane campers are absolutely endemic. The law in Utah actually says that if you're on a multi-lane highway, and you are in a left lane, you have to move over for overtaking cars. I don't think people know this, at all, and if they do, they never look in their damn rear view. I have never seen so many traffic normers puttering along in the left lane trying to keep EVERYONE ELSE under the speed limit, because they think they're traffic cops. There's also a thing I like to call a Utah roadblock, which is a row of cars going the same speed, making it completely impossible to pass. Y'all probably have this in your states too and call it something else. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Horns really should be a trigger button not at the center of the wheel, or maybe a foot button on automatic cars. Generally I use a quick beep if someone is not moving at a light or something but rarely a long blast if they are doing asshole/dangerous stuff. The thing is, the LAST FUCKING PLACE I want a hand is on the horn if my airbag goes off so for evasive maneuvers it's often a "fuck you buddy" after the event rather than to prevent the event. That is the one thing my old Mercury Tracer had right, a little thumb button for it that kept the hands on and in full control of the wheel. |

Pretty rare. If you fuck up in front of me, I'm more likely to plow into your ass than use the horn.

Quote HistoryI highly recommend DIY if you are mechanically inclined and have some free time. For the price of a Ranch Hand, Bucks top, etc. bumper, I bought a MIG welder, angle grinder, chop saw, and all the materials needed. I'm certain my bumper and added frame reinforcements are stronger than any bolt on offerings on the market.
One of these days, I need to make a dumbass video compilation out of my dashcam vids. I've totaled 2 other vehicles since, all while sustaing little more than cosmetic damage. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
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). |

Dude, the traffic up here is unreal. People are SO FUCKING STUPID on the road. I can't tell you how many times we've had people just come right over into our lane on the way to work. Especially around the Woodrow Wilson bridge and basically anywhere on 495. We had some dude about run us into the guardrail just this morning. Zero fucks, no paying attention whatsoever. I can't wait to get back to Jacksonville traffic, if that tells you anything... |

Every day. Multiple times. I'd prefer a grill mounted sidewinder missile battery though. That would be more effective.

Maybe once or twice a year for a near miss accident. Otherwise, no.
Why am I not surprised that some of you use your horn every day.

DFW drivers are absolute retards. If I used my horn as much as I SHOULD, I'd be using it every day too. Everything from people ignoring yield signs to impatient idiots who think that someone turning off the road in front of you gives them the right of way to get onto the same road, to people who are so brain dead that staying in their own lane is too much of a challenge. And to a person, they all think it's somehow your fault. I'm glad you're lucky enough to live somewhere that isn't packed with tards. |
