Also if someone sounds the horn and there are 10 + cars within earshot then everyone in every car will wonder if the horn is being beeped at them. Was at a roundabout earlier and a hesitant driver who didn’t know where they were going was being badgered by an impatient horn blaster and it all seemed very wrong to me. I highly doubt many accidents are prevented through horn blasting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 It wouldn't surprise me if a car horn hasn't caused at least one startled child to drop their ice cream on a hot summer's day. There are worse things in the world, but not many. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once bought a VW Golf and the horn ran out/broke after 6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I've mentioned it before but there's a guy in my street that gets picked up bang on 6.20am every day and the w****r picking him up feels the need to repeatedly toot his horn to announce his arrival. Saves me having to check what time it is when I'm still half asleep but that's not the point Edited July 20, 2021 by Bert Raccoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be options - a nice pleasant beep to, for instance, when you're stopped at a junction to let a pedestrian cross in front of you; an angry one for the usual stupid drivers; and of course a warning one like a foghorn to alert everybody when an Audi or BMW driver's close by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your issue here is with people using the horn incorrectly rather than the horn itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I toyed with the idea of fitting an HGV horn to my car to show maximum anger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 My old Yaris had a very weak, almost camp horn. If you want to let other drivers know that you're disappointed in them and have hurt feelings that's what you need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man told me a tale of a teacher at Letham School, Forfar, in the 1970s who drove a VW Beetle. He would toot at the kids to move out of the way and they just laughed at the pathetic horn the Beetle had. So he went down to the scrap yard to get a new horn and the scrappy said he had the very thing- the horn off a Humber tourer. Next time he sees the kids in his way driving into the school he sounds the new horn, BLAAART, and cue lots of kids shiteing themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the '70s, Mr WRK Senior fitted a horn to his Merc which sounded like a giant bull was on the rampage. Fair shook the windaes when he fired it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
