Someone got into a turning lane ahead of me but tried to get back into the forward lane by almost backing up into me.

Like a year ago. Sitting at a stop light and it turned green and I waited a full 15 to 20 seconds and of course they were staring at their fucking phone. So I tapped the horn. I fucking loathe people staring at their phones while driving or even at a light.

A few months ago at a green light where the guy in front didn't seem to be moving at all after a good 5 seconds, I gave a light tap. I don't usually bother honking in most other situations, it doesn't really accomplish much to honk once someone has already cut you off or merged recklessly, except maybe confusing everyone else you aren't honking at.

I post this on here every once in a while, but unless you are alerting someone they are close to hitting you, you should be careful about using the horn.

In HS, I was with a group of friends and my brother on the way somewhere. Some guy cut us off and we did the whole thing: honk, flash lights, give the bird. The guy got off on a freeway ramp, and as he drove parallel, someone popped a rifle out of the back window and fired two shots at us. I saw the rifle and yelled at everyone to duck. I was in the back seat and got down. First bullet passed over my head and shattered the back window. Second hit the passenger front door and just missed my brothers leg. We recovered the shell from the floorboard.

Nobody here needs a lecture from an old man, but my sincere advice is to not antagonize anyone while driving no matter how aggravated you feel. Not worth it. When I drive, I dont use the horn and keep m hands firmly on the wheel.

I don't remember how long ago it was exactly (at least a month), but it was someone that was looking down when the left turn arrow turned green. I could see him looking around for something and waited for a few seconds to see if he'd look up on his own... Nope.

While I agree with the sentiment of not deliberately antagonising other drivers, you wont have people shoot at you for doing it in most countries.

Last week I was getting into a turn lane and someone way further back had gotten over and started gassing it. Instead of breaking they sped up further and started going into oncoming traffic to get beside me and try to bully me out of the turn lane when I attempted to enter at proper distance from the light.

Was bizarre they made me miss the green light which was kinda annoying.

Behind a motorcycle at a red light and the dude was literally still scrolling on his phone when the light turned green. I even gave him like 5 seconds leeway to put it away and then I honked and the dude had the audacity to throw his hands up like I was the asshole. This was a few months ago.

True, but it's an unfortunate reality for us here. There's a disturbing amount of people here that will pull out a gun at the slightest provocation. Makes a lot of road rage incidents turn deadly.

Last week. There's this road on the way from home that is 4 lanes, 2 on each side. The two on the side I was on are mostly straight lanes but the right one ends at a spot and it becomes a right only turn. 99 percent of the people who drive on this road do it for work or because they live near by. There's two lights leading up to this and most people will be in the proper lane the light before which causes a little bit of a delay. You'll have a long line of traffic that will clear in one light cycle and the right lane will be mostly empty because everyone knows that lane ends.

Except every so often you'll get someone who doesn't want to wait and just flies up that right lane and finds ANY gap they can to fit in. If there isn't a gap they will force themselves in and on MULTIPLE occasions I have had someone just blow through where you are supposed to turn right and end up alongside me with them on the shoulder and me in the lane. One of us has to stop and you know it won't be them. I honk at them.

This, I am very happy for people who live in countries with a sane approach to firearms. Truly. But here in the US, provoking someone in a car simply isnt worth the risk.

My area is plagued with side roads and people who really dont seem to know how to stop at a stop sign. Also, my route home has a yield sign that people really dont seem to respect. Its a problem, and Ive lost trust with drivers around me.

So, yeah, maybe last week.

I never have. But there were times I wanted to, but my first two cards did not have a working horn.

Now I have a car with an functional horn, but I always forget it exists. There has been times I see someone being stupid but I don't remember I should use the horn until a few seconds too late

Is there a mindset that honking is woke?

Sunday at 10 pm (last night) I was getting off I-55 in a mile, the right lane was clear and I had switched on my turn signal. I barely avoided a collision. It was close enough that you could feel the jerk and I was only able to throw my car out of it because the road was dry. The car sped up in response to my turn signal.

No honking, no braking, 20+ mi/hr over the 65 that is de facto speed limit. I mean there is so much going down in America now that it was not a big deal but that was close.

A couple days ago, some random pickup in the opposite lane just casually started to cross the center line as we approached each other, I started to worry as he got about half way into my lane before looking up from his cell phone and jerked the wheel to zig back into his own lane. I was about one second from bailing onto the shoulder.

That's dangerous as well. What if someone starts having a heart attack while driving or is being followed by a stalker or a road rager? Before cellphones, it was basically "tough luck, may God have mercy on your soul." A better option is to force the use of Android Auto or Apple Carplay and lock the phone itself unless the car is in park.

Just a quick double-tap when someone didn't notice a light change. And yes, it was an actual case of someone not noticing, and not me just being impatient. Two cars in the right lane had already gone through the intersection.

I don't honk the horn at someone when I'm mad. These days, it's just as likely to get a gun pulled on you as it is to get your point across. And it's not like they don't already know you're mad. Flip 'em the bird and move on.
