Does every one know rule 112 of the highway code is?

Go to India, it seems obligatory to use your horn

Yes I am aware. Couldn't tell you rule no!🤣I've been driving for 50 years now and that has always been a rule

Never used it. . It might not work !

Not really,I was car less for the last few days and walking about and sitting on various bus stops and bus's,and hearing the amount of horns being blown,including the bus driver/s.
Its just unbelievable,when you have drivers who have those ear plug things, so what their listening too goes straight down their ear holes,not to mention those who don't know where the up/down window handle is.

You should try driving through Cairo😂 they have one hand on the wheel and the other on the horn, Israel isn’t much better.

I think most British people are timid horn users.

I find OP’s question a very passive/aggressive way to say that where he lives, people use their car horn a lot.
(Is it specifically at you, OP?)
Where I live the noise pollution you refer to, simply is not an issue.
In any case I would be more worried about air quality in cities, and of course river and beach pollution as a direct threat to our health

And as for ear pods which is what I assume you are referring to, what business is it of any of us?
(Windows don’t have winders any more either- a little button on the door opens and shuts them! )
However I hope you feel better for venting.

Last night I was driving in the 20mph zone, a black car right on my bumper was using the horn clearly to tell me to hurry up.

Hmm! When my friend and I travelled to work together, we found that some young men just couldn't handle the fact that 2 old blondes might have nicer, faster cars than theirs. We had to "notify them of our presence" often after they had carved us up and then slowed down in front of us "just because they could" (though in actual fact, "just because we let them - my friend was an ex lady racing driver!! )- silly boys - so dangerous! It led to interesting discussions though as to how big (or probably small) their apppendage was that they found this necessary and in the end, it happened so often we just used to raise our little finger to each other, declare "very small" and giggle! We had some interesting journeys! One van passed us shouting and making suggestive remarks, then after overtaking realised that the blond heads in the convertible in front belonged to women who were old enough to be their mothers. Very, very small!

Thanks for the image,
unfortunately I always have my speakers on mute,
so I can't here anything, only images.

I was always taught that the horn was to ‘announce my presence, not to demand another’s absence’.
