Getting honked at

[Black Noir]

Can you be sure it was a car and not an oncoming goose?

I find that since my Turkish upper body enhancement surgery I am being honked at all the time.

Is your car clean? Someone hasn’t scraped “Beep at me if you think I’m a ****” on the bonnet have they?

Someone has put honk for **** on my van. Sadly no-one has honked, it's been there a few weeks now

Just got back from India where honking is used regularly, but to alert other drivers of your presence I.e. before overtaking

IIRC this is supposed to be the correct use here in the UK too, not for road rage which is mainly the reason for honking

Personally only honk if someone is going to reverse into my car, or there's a blind corner or something . Again this is the correct use according to the highway code IIRC

Rule 112 - Highway Code

A horn should only be used when warning someone of any danger due to another vehicle or any other kind of danger, and not to indicate your annoyance.
It is illegal to use a horn on a moving vehicle on a restricted road, basically a road that has street lights and a 30 mph limit, between the times of 11:30 p.m. and 07:00 a.m.

I got honked, meaning it was time to change cars and partners.

I sometimes use the horn when going over a blind narrow bridge, that isn't traffic light controlled.

It may have been caused by unintended tit to horn contact by a slightly larger lady

You might have experienced this headcase.

Driving questions

Evening all. I have some questions related to everyday driving. I am more interested to know what you do different than me or what you would do. These are all unofficial and I just wanted to sync my behaviour with what you all do. 1. Car ahead is driving slowly ( residential 2 way road ) > I...

Was driving through a place for the first time yesterday and drove into a garage through the exit part - completely my fault. 2 old blokes were driving out and started making hand gestures, yelling etc.

Dunno why, but i put down my window, gave them a double thumbs up and my biggest **** eating grin - they both cracked up, gave me a wave and drove on.

It would have been easy to get mad, i think i'll stick to my new trick from now on

Maybe give this a go, or just ignore.

Most likely your headlights are pointing too high and blinding other drivers.
