whatcha honkin on Gordon? does it really work? i got a freeway blaster a while ago (and a relay) because i thought my stocker was shot. wired everything up, but when i realized the problem was a dirty horn button, i switched it back to stock. i am of the belief that people will probably still not wake up, and evasive maneuvering or situation avoidance in the first place, are my only weapons against the zombie cagers. I act like I am invisible, and they act like they are trying to kill me. So far this has been enough to make me avoid contact- I dont even use the horn until we are stopped at a light and i need to get their attention so i can show them the little birdie i have in my hand for them. (its my middle finger )
I've got the dual note Freeway Blasters on my 750 and 550, and yes, they
really work. I still use my "enlightened paranoia" to keep myself alive on the roads, but I also use the horn liberally. I'll honk as I'm hitting the brakes to avoid being side-swiped to at least let the driver know that there was indeed somebody there. That way when I'm #$%*ing them out at the next light they know why.
In most cases, though, I use it to let someone know I'm there
before they attempt to kill me. Like someone who's getting ready to pull out of a side street or parking lot, looking to the right, and inching forward like they may pull out in front of me at any second. A quick blast from the truck horns makes them stop and notice me.
It's also really fun to tell an unsuspecting friend to give the horn button a little tap.
