You're lucky. Here in France, honking is illegal (except for signalling immediate danger) yet people honk all the time and it's tolerated. I live in a city and it's a major nuisance. It's stressful for drivers (even more for cyclists) and extremely annoying for people living nearby. I really don't understand why this isn't taken more seriously.
- seszett 7y agoI thought it was bad in France but now I live in Belgium and it's much worse. That's in Flanders, no idea about the rest of Belgium although I imagine Brussels should be worse on this regard. People will honk just because they are stuck in traffic, and once one car starts honking, at least a few others will join them. In my street in particular, this happens at least weekly at 7am and in front of a hospital, and if I walk up to them to tell them to stop because it's useless and disturbs everyone, they get even more angry obviously.

- hylaride 7y agoInteresting. Last time I was in a city in France, I noticed the whine of scooters more than honking, but I live in a big city so I may have just tuned the honking out.
