    Car horns should come with a time limit: you can only use it so much per day. Then people might actually use them correctly. It’s not a rage button. It’s a safety device.

      Outside of major US cities, americans mostly don’t seem to use them. I mostly use them when I see someone blowing through a red light or a stop sign to alert other drivers there’s a dangerous asshole coming through. But I’m usually the only one I’ve ever seen doing that.

      You haven’t been to India. Youre supposed to honk when you go around a turn or approach an intersection. You’re supposed to honk when passing or turning.

      If you’re driving at night in a residential area and not honking constantly, the cops will look at you as suspicious.
