If I had a nickel for every time I honked at a street light.....or parking meter......or future roadkill. Drivers Ed would be a little funnier, though. |

If you're performing a panic stop for street lights and parking meters, [yabba_do_yabba_dabba], the rest of us would do well to be warned of your presence. [+] |

(-) for your attitude. Lighten up! You must've been riding my Unmerry-Go-Round a little too much... |
|

Huh. Tempting. I can never honk when I'm panic stopping or swerving or anything else, and that's usually when it's most appropriate to use the tootle. |
|
| |
I'll think about it. Undecided for now. |

False alarms. One person slams on the brakes, subsequently honks, causing nearby motorists to be alarmed, subsequently braking, causing nearby motorists to be alarmed, subsequently braking, subsequently honking. Noise pollution, ad infinitum. |

Brilliant deduction, Detective. I need to work on making the facetious more obvious. |
|
| |
The author presumes the horn should sound in every situation requiring quick, heavy braking. Not so. |
|
| |
How about a dual signal:
ABS brakes engage AND double-death-grip on steering wheel at the 10'oclock and 2'oclock positions causes airhorn to sound. |
