do you hit the seethe button when things don't go your way on the road?
>>28940143I'm usually too focused on driving around whatever bullshit people are doing to honk at them
Someone did that to me while trying to get between my car and the kerb today when leaving a roundabout. Good job he did so because he would have been at fault.
I had a chance to use it for its intended purpose recently>driving on motorway>sitting at 10 kph above speed limit with cruise control>observe smoothbrain in rear view mirror overtaking guy behind me and cutting into his lane right in front of his nose >creeps closer to me>starts tailgating me>starts overtaking >already know what's coming>chucklefuck starts merging even before he's past me >lay on horn when he's centimetres from my bonnet>somehow this is surprising to him>swerves, catches himself Fucking idiot
>>28940143Never used it in 15 years.
>>28940943I have.
I'm more of a hi beams flasher. Honking is usually reserved for people that almost hit me.
>>28940143I break out the PA."YOU DRIVE LIKE OLD PEOPLE FUCK!!!""SLOW AND SLOPPY!!!"
>>28940943I have to try to remember which is the beepy bit.
>>28940143No. But I hit the "pay-the-fuck-attention" button quite regularly.
>>28940983based Carlin appreciator
>>28940973High beams usually means go do your thing here. Don't try to annoy someone wirh a flash in that Europe.I had to look what bit did horn the other day.Fukying Italians put in in the middle of the turny thing.
noIve used it 2 times in my career and one time i was in the wrong
>>28941068i figure even in yurop it's contextual. if you just cut someone off and they hold their brights on for a second you can tell they're annoyed.if you're wanting to merge in front of them and they flash it once or twice then go ahead.if you're flying down a back road and oncoming traffic flashes at you in a pattern then there's probably a speed trap or some other hazard ahead.
>>28940143Nah I do it because I am the hazard when someone geriatric pulls out in front of me and doesn't get moving.
>>28940143Mine is a small button above my turn signal. I try to use it every once in a while for smaller infractions so I remember where it is in case I need to use it for larger emergencies
Liz the 2 has bull horns on her cars.She was cute.
>>28940143>the seethe buttonThat's great.>>28940943>Never used it in 15 yearsYour license should be pulled then.It's a TOOL that has legitimate uses>>28940932>chucklefuck starts merging even before he's past meThis you?
>Never used it in 15 yearsYour license should be pulled then.It's a TOOL that has legitimate usesIndeed it is an audible warning of your presence. Most useful on a single track road to make people to not go all Group B on your car.
>>28940143>when things don't go your wayno not this one
I wish there was a softer, friendlier "hey bud, the light's green" horn, like the auto equivalent of clearing your throat after you've waited for a reasonable time. That and letting people know they're coming into my lane are about the only time I touch mine. Normally I've either seen the hazard coming and allowed for it or shit's hit the fan and I don't have attention to spare the horn.
>>28941213There is: depress clutch pedal, rev to the midrange. You can do it stopped or moving.I often worry that a horn would be too jarring and cause some drivers to make the situation worse.Another thing, I often see dashcam videos where there is tons of time and room for the driver to react, but they just "give in to their fate" and hold the horn instead of evade the accident completely. These people need to know that a horn doesn't make the other car disappear.
>>28941213You're such a pussy.
>>28941219Autotragic "driver" here. I rarely put the car in neutral and do the same, but then I'm out of gear and run the needless risk of doing something stupid getting back in. I actually saw an old person somehow end up in reverse in standing traffic so while it would be dumb it wouldn't be impossible. The shortest honk I can manage is my go-to.
Everyone's on their phones nowadays so I just use mine to remind them to FUCKING MOVE
>>28940143i'm so drunk half the time i don't even know if i'd think to use the horn. people sure use the horn for me though lol
>>28941288had to use mine a surprising amount of times yesterday. at least it sounds nice, similar to thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ECNOyFarJY
>>28941213>>28941219>>28941228I DON'T THINK YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT A BAD DAY IS
>>28941288.
Just to let the girlies know I'm outside their place.
I rarely use my horn. Using your horn often is third world behaviour.
>>28940143I hit the seethe button all day but at no time is the reason 'bc things didn't go my way'.
