    Pray I’m not behind you. None of my vehicles have horns. lol

    I just sit silently, waiting. It’s an excercise in patience. 🙂‍↕️

    Real talk, don’t honk unless there is a danger of crashing.

    Yes, the driver in front of you should not have their phone out. No, that does not give you the right to take your rage out on everyone in the surrounding neighborhood because you’re mad about having to wait 10 seconds to start driving again.

    Don’t drive into a city and act like you have the right to be as loud as you want.

      10 seconds is a really long time. If it’s been 4 seconds and your brake lights are still on, I’m giving you a honk. I’m not laying on my horn, just a little boop to make sure you see that it’s green.

        Ok, but then I’m just gonna give your car a little kick so you know you’re hurting my ears.

        Kidding, but yeah it can be really annoying, and also many drivers don’t blip their horn like you’re saying, and instead give a full honk. Anybody walking nearby gets an earache, and anybody living or shopping nearby has to deal with the noisy environment created. Probably better to just flash your highbeams or be more patient. The horn is not meant to police other drivers or signal noncritical information, you don’t see people honking every time someone is texting while driving, or driving with their lights off.
