HORN HONKING JUST TO SAY “Hi”
No, it isn’t cute and not really friendly. Okay,
maybe once in a great while it could be permitted,
but it sometimes seems as if drivers use their car
horns way too often for this purpose. Couldn’t
they just pull over and have their conversation
instead of creating a mini-drama on the roads and
highways?
And let’s not forget the distraction of the car horn
itself. When you hear a horn, it makes you think
there’s something wrong. Your attention is
suddenly diverted from driving safely to looking for
ways to avert danger. Saying hello by using your
car horn shouldn’t be part of daily driving
behaviour.
