In annoyance, in warning, or in friendliness?

Yeah, at a fool who sailed through a stop sign and turned right across two lanes of traffic, forcing me into evasive maneuvers. Then he looked at me like I was the problem.

Not in a while, but I did say WTH after watching a random game of "Musical Lanes" on my way home from work tonight......not going to lie though, the trips to and from work could be described as "Amateur Hour"!I described it different to my sister and in a way that couldn't be repeated on many forums I venture onto without getting into trouble.

I usually have to lay on the horn within 2-3 blocks of home - the amount of dangerous drivers in Miami is staggering.

A woman was texting on the Mass pike and weaving while driving slowly in the middle lane. She at least took notice of my horn so that it was an appropriate and useful use of the horn.

I consider myself fortunate that I have not found it necessary to honk in quite some time.

Hi yodudebc,

I used the horn in my newly acquired 2010 Ford Ranger last week for the first time. I really was surprised how loud it was. I only on very rare occasions use my horn and always (I think) as a warning.

See ya :-). MGY
