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.

Slow news day today, Infoman ?

NotAGran55 Sun 28-Jul-24 17:55:46

Why are you asking this?

Is it random fact day today 🤷

I think a lot of people either don't know that rule or choose not to comply with it.
People who use their horn in traffic jams because they are annoyed.
People who have to beep their horn to say goodbye as they leave.
People who allow their children to use the horn as a toy and drive neighbours mad.

112
The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively. You MUST NOT use your horn

while stationary on the road
when driving in a built-up area between the hours of 11.30 pm and 7.00 am

except when another road user poses a danger.

is there a reason you think we may not be aware of this rule?

My neighbours relatives sound the horn and wave when leaving, irritating.

Yes - I am aware.

However, this morning it didn’t stop me honking aggressively at the idiot who turned right (to exit 3) from the near side lane of a roundabout and almost wrote me off! The exits roads are clearly marked and once turned, the driver knew the way to McDonalds.

I cant recall either when but on this I broke the guidelines I think, it was when someone cut in on me very dangerously I was forced to brake, but the situation had ready happened.

Thankyou.
Can’t remember when I last sounded the horn.
