I think the vast majority of reasons that people use for honking their car horn constitutes being a crime. In my opnion, car horns could pretty much be removed and roads would be much safer than they are now.
Some examples:
- Honking your horn at the driver next to you while driving down the interstate to because you recognize them and want to give them a shout out. Um, have you ever thought that staring at them and causing them to stare at you means their are two people NOT STARING AT THE ROAD?? Not to mention that this behavior often causes windows to be rolled down and people to try to talk to each other. Oh, and the potential effect of startling the other drivers around you. So yeah, very dangerous.
- Honking your horn to get the person in front of you to move at a green light if they happened to be doing something like blinking when the light turned green. Give them a few seconds people!
- Honking your horn because someone doesn't drive the way you think they should. Okay, I know that cars were created so your awesome skills could be put on display, but give the rest of us a break. Sure, there are a ton of folks out there who probably should not have a license, but honking your horn at them is not going to make them realize that. And again, it probably scares the and everyone else who you are not directing your anger at.
I'm sure car horns had a purpose when cars were first invented, but I find them very unnecessary now. And I think if we can be ticketed for not wearing a seatbelt which places no one but ourselves in danger, then there should be tickets for honking your horn for stupid reasons which could definitely harm others.
