[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not break up with someone over this. We also don't know the whole story. [b]Maybe the car in front could have went but got scared and waited. Maybe the other car could have moved over into another lane but blocked the lane[/b][/quote]

So you honk at them?  And while turning????  :shock:

+1. I have never honked at anyone in anger.

I use my honk to warn drivers when there is trouble, e.g. our cars are too close to each other, they are backing up into my car.

If your car is not completely in the turning lane and therefor, your cars ass is blocking my lane, yes, you will get honked at. That is dangerous and I am "warning" you to move over more [/quote]

The fact that you feel entitled to "recourse" is one of the foundations of road rage. It's that entitlement, that vindictivity, that need to express that someone did something that you don't approve of and to make sure that they know it... It's that mentality that leads to road rage.

Nothing wrong with that. If your honk can get a driver to move over, yeah. But honking to show your disapproval of the driver's conduct and nothing else, is disruptive.[/quote]

But if a driver is blocking a lane of traffic because of their misconduct, what recourse do drivers have? How do we ensure folk follow the rules?[/quote][/quote]

They are breaking the law and holding up traffic for dozens of cars because they couldn't be bothered  to wait in the queue like everyone else?  If we had recourse their behavior, they would be less likely to enrage someone who take more drastic action than honking.  [/quote]
