  And also if the horn goes off, would that make agri drivers more so? I used to have an air horn on my bike - it sounded like a lorry horn, and the issue was that drivers heard it and would stop but would normally assume it wasn't from me, and would carry on.

    That's a really good point, it would definitely escalate aggressive drivers. I've had situations where I rode past someone (they were stopped in traffic), then they passed me again down the road (this repeated a couple of times) and every time I rolled past them, they'd descend further into apoplectic rage, I can't imagine flashing lights is going to help.

      I can imagine: they think they paid their car 100 times more than our bicycles (actually maybe only 10), they know they could go 10 times as fast as a bicycle (maybe only 5) and yet they are stuck in the traffic, go as slow as us and won't be at home much earlier (or much later.) When it happens to me to be a car driver I think that at least I'm enjoying heating or air conditioning but I'd like to be on my bicycle at least until I get out of the city.
