It's very amusing looking at the replies in this thread with widespread horn use because in the UK using the horn is very rare indeed. It is sometimes used to encourage someone to go at lights that have changed because the other driver is obviously not paying attention to driving a 1+ tonne vehicle, and used in anger when someone does a "dangerous" maneouvre eg. pulling out on someone at a roundabout, but I always think "if you have enough time to sound your horn, you have enough time to react (and therefore not honk)".
Having said this, there are an awful lot of very angry, selfish people on the roads as indicated by the "dash cam" videos on YouTube (where mostly it seems that the driver has submitted a video of a "appalling driving" but actually demonstrates their own inability to control their hot-headed exceedingly short temper in any rational sane manner, thereby indicting themselves rather than the "appalling" other driver).

This driver learned nothing from the incident, and will continue to drive poorly.
- 72deluxe 7y agoYes, was the driver with the camera not paying attention to anything in front of him?? He should try driving on motorways in the UK in rush hour, where the distance between you and the car in front is about a third of that footage, and everyone's doing 80mph. (Yes I attempt to increase the distance for safety purposes, and then people pull in because they think it is a "space"). Insane.
