I notice that the bike messengers in the city now have “horns” that are more like an electric beep that is not as loud as a car. Also, the police cars have rumblers that you feel more than hear.
When I’m in NYC, I always wish there was a counter for horn-presses that eventually triggers an automatic fine if you use your horn too much.
- nitrogen 7y agoI've heard from a friend that his relative in India absolutely won't drive with a broken horn, because that is how you let people know where you are. I'm curious how much of the honking in NYC is, say, "on your left" vs "up yours" compared to other cities/countries.
- nihonde 7y agoI’d say it’s mostly a form of complaining that traffic isn’t moving, even when the people in front are also stuck. It’s truly pointless noise-making.
