[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will admit I have what I call mild to moderate road rage... No one's perfect! [/quote] Figure your issues out. You are a danger to others on the road [/quote] +1 Think of good behavior and self-control in the car as an extension of the rules of the road. Rules make a complicated moving system work and by extension, keep more people moving faster and more safely. "Honking at people doing dumb things" is distracting to everyone around you (the driver you're honking at, the other drivers, and to you too). It's the community-level version of yelling at someone. It disrupts the system. That's why it's so selfish. [/quote] Yes, it was actually the very first class in driver's ed back when I was in school. [b]Driving angry is driving impaired[/b].[/quote] I remember that, too! And I totally agree. Honking to express anger or to chastise another driver is on the continuum of road rage. I only honk to let someone know that I am there, if necessary, or to alert someone that the light has turned green if it appears they aren't paying attention. Plus, honking is basically noise pollution. It's illegal in NYC to honk the horn unnecessarily. In a residential neighborhood, it's extra obnoxious. I always think that the horn should sound as loud (or louder) *in* the car as it does outside the car. [/quote]
