Honking is like the most not overkill thing ever when a car isn't moving at a green light

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Cars really need a variety of horns. Like one that politely says "pardon me, do you happen to have any grey poupon?" and one that says "move or I'll rip yer fucken eyeballs out!"

One long hold — aggressive A gentle “beep beep”, seems more friendly. At least, to me, and I hope that’s how it’s perceived.

I do the beep beep at red-turn green lights, but try to wait a little. It’s midly annoying if a driver doesn’t react quick enough but driving is a frustrating enough experience as it is. No need to add fuel to the fire, so to speak. I’ve been beeped at the moment the lights turned green, and at the time, my foot was already pressing the gas. I felt embarrassed… my car does not react that quickly!

I don't know where you learned to drive, but I clearly remember that lesson from driving school "honking is only to be used in case of immediate danger". Which, here, is clearly not the case.

They taught you poorly. Honking is also used to say hi, to tell someone they need to stay in their lane, and to warn them the light is green
