Ever seen anyone lay on the horn at a good driver? I thought not.
Actually Heffy, it happens to me all the time sadly. Mostly women (the worst drivers in the world, regardless of color, race and creed) because they just don't have a "feel" for mechanical things, and have "emotional intelligence" as opposed to "situational awareness" that men (well some men at least) have, therefore, don't understand how to drive well.
As an example, (remembering that we drive on the left here in Oz) I'm in the left lane of a 2 lane freeway (yes our freeways are small compared to yours in the US) and there's a car on my right. This woman wants to merge into my lane, and by law, she has to give way to me, There's signs in front of her to say that, broken white lines on the road, etc it's really pretty fcuking simple.
Not this biatch. She tries to push me into the car on my right, then lays on the horn with one hand, while gesticulating and actually screaming at me! For fcuks sake, even if I wanted to, I couldn't make room for her in my lane, and couldn't just merge into the right lane, and anyway, she was supposed to wait for me to pass before she merged in! Fcuk!
Once she finally gets onto the freeway she continues to lay on the horn from behind me, then as she's passing me. Hmmnnn. Coincidentally when we both get off the freeway (I'm now behind her) we're both travelling in the same direction, so I guess she's now assumed that I'm following her with the intent of doing her some harm as she tries to speed away from me, but keeping withing the speed limits (we're just on suburban streets now) I catch her again at each red light. Now she's looking straight ahead, has wound her windows up, and locked her doors. I'm guessing she's regretting her previous actions.
This goes on for several miles, and I'm rather enjoying it, I could have turned off a few streets ago, but it's fun watching this moron crapping her pants. I'm actually smiling and laughing every time she tries to speed off, and she does some really dangerous manoeuvres to get away from me. It's morning peak hour traffic though, so keeping within the limits I catch up to her. At one point I pull along side her and just give her a friendly wave. She looks terrified.........
Eventually I have to make a left to go to work, but it was an interesting time for me, and I couldn't disagree more with your statement mate, a good driver will use his horn to warn another driver of an impending situation, a bad one will use it to voice their displeasure, no matter how much they've misread a situation. Cheers, Terry.
