Agreed. I used to live near a busy intersection in Brooklyn. Most of the noise was from cars. But not their engines: their horns.
There was a busy bus stop across the way, and drivers loved to lay on the horn when a bus would stop for passengers. Because, of course, traffic isn't moving, better start honking! This is something that basic etiquette would fix.
- robbyt 8y agoI think some cars in NYC have a breaking system is attached to their horn. They're unable to stop or slow down without the horn also going off.
- qbrass 8y agoWiring the horn to the brake lights was supposed to be a prank. But if the driver doesn't acknowledge that it's happening, the prank backfires on the prankster.
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoAnd most of that honking is actually illegal because in NYC it is illegal to honk except in an emergency. Even some basic enforcement of traffic laws would stop the honking. The US in general seems to have very little appetite for actually enforcing traffic laws, though.
