Indeed, I've seen the horn-on-corners thing mentioned a few times in this thread and I think it's dangerous:
- If the road is hilly, there is a significant amount of rock and soil between you and an opposing car and the sound will be quite muted as it has to diffuse around the corner.
- If the other driver has their window up and/or their radio on then they won't hear it at all.
- People who are hard of hearing can and do still drive.
I used to live on top of a 4200'/1300m mountain, and occasionally people would do this and then think it was OK to cut the line. Please just don't, you're only disturbing the countryside and residents/hikers and giving yourself a false sense of security.
