Usually when someone cuts me off or attempts to merge into me, it always occurs to me like 2 or 3 seconds after the fact that I should have honked. But also, this is Memphis. Apparently a guy got killed last week or the week before simply for honking at 2 idiot drivers that were racing on the interstate or something. They shot at him for honking.

I only honk at drivers who have a sticker that says "Honk if you're horny" because that's me.

It takes a lot for me to honk in anger. My ex used to reach over and honk when she was mad and that pissed me off.

I will give a little honk at a green light if the person isn't going after like 5 seconds.

This for me as well. Of course I've seen multiple road rage events around here where cars battle it out Mad Max style, ramming each other off the road, so I'll have no part in aggressive honking.

i only honk under two circumstances

a) someone is about to hit me because they're not paying attention
b) i give someone a light honk when they missed that the light has gone green because they weren't paying attention. i wait about ~5 seconds before i do this

former happened last sunday when a driver decided to switch lanes suddenly right as i was approaching their bumper from the lane over. they didn't signal or anything first, just moved without due care and almost ran me off the road

BTW, be careful about excessive honking because you can get a ticket for it. I got a ticket when I honked at a person 3 times because they didn't go on a protected green light. Instead of the police officer going after the guy in front of me, who clearly was on texting on his cellphone, he went after me for honking and I got a ticket for $237.86 for it. You're only allowed to honk to avoid a car accident, anything else is "disturbing the peace". Luckily I took it to court and the police officer didn't show up so I got it dismissed.

Not often, infact my horn barely passed inspection it felt like. Tried honking at a friend and I could barely hear it lol.

I've been to some places though we're they drive by leaning on the horn. There is a funny vid that I can't remember of a cab driver in Africa honking for any reason.

That guy has no idea what he is talking about. Nashville is literally the worst city I have ever driven in with most braindead drivers I have ever seen constantly honking at each other

Hell I think they finally convicted that guy of shooting a nurse to death for cutting him off

Never. The more assholey someone is, and deserving of a honk, the greater probability they are also packing and going to follow me home and murder me. Not worth risking pissing off the wrong person

It has never happened to me, but if someone were to start following me because I honked at them I sure as hell aren't driving home.

I guess people are just more laid back, not always in a rush. The other guy talking about Nashville, I guess he lives in a bad part or maybe because its a real big city? I dont know, but one of my favorite things about being down here is the lack of horns. Sit through a green light here and there which is highly annoying, but its not often.

I only honk as a way of conveying that someone urgently needs to pay attention. Never as a correction, and definitely never as a greeting. When you honk, every motorist around you hears it, which can cause surprise, confusion, or even anger if people think you're trying to criticize them for something they did. There's a lot more negative outcomes than positive unless it helps with with road safety, or someone is very clearly distracted from driving and delaying everyone in a situation where the signal will not confuse other drivers.

Maybe to get someone's attention, and even then it has to be very specific conditions.

Driving? Never even if someone passes me off. I don't see much point in it. Honking at them isn't going to satisfy my issue with them.

The times Ill most commonly honk at someone are when I get around them after they cut me off or when the light turns green and they dont go. For the latter Ill give them a couple of seconds first.

road rage violence seems to be at an all-time high


almost got t-boned several days ago when i needed my costco trip for the month. someone was impatient they lingered for 30 seconds longer if they needed to drive thru a 4 way and guessing they wanted to go ahead. other driver decided to go fast and almost struck the car and then proceeded to honk while the car i was in driven thru (sure made my roommate mad).

Probably would have been ticketed for "disturbing the peace" or some other similar catch-all reason.

Last time I honked was when someone was sitting in the rightmost left turn lane thinking it was a straight lane, even though there are arrows on the ground and the lines curve to the left and there is a traffic light pole dead ahead and he refused to make the left turn and circle back blocking me and the rest of us who want to make a left turn make a left turn. It was also a light where you could only make a left turn when the arrow is green. So waiting for this fuck to move over to the lane on the right just stopped the rest of us from making our turn. Not that it did anything, but kept my hand on the horn till the arrow turned red and we were stuck there.

Usually its because someone is playing on their phone at a green light.

Most ridiculous instance was me having to slow roll into an intersection with my hand on the horn because the people in the opposite direction kept turning left through a red arrow while I had the green light.

Yup, this is why I don't honk at anyone.

People nowadays are absolutely psychotic and unhinged.

I'll only honk if someone is blocking a green light but even then, I'm pretty nervous about doing it.

I have so much to live for, I'm not going to die in someone's road rage fit lol.
