[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^In the city, at lower speeds, honking happens and you move on. And it happens non stop. I know. I  lived with it in New York. But honking accomplishes nothing in those driving situations other than noise pollution and aggravation.

On highways, in suburbs, on busy roads not in the city (and yes even in the city, too), honking can startle drivers. Sorry, it just does. It may not startle you, but the fact that you are immune means nothing.

Other people are in fact startled by honking and it can create a dangerous distraction.

I only honk on a highway a few scenarios

1) someone is trying to merge into my lane and doesn't see me
2) someone is like, straddling the line and therefore I can't safely pass because their position is unpredictable
3) someone is driving like a crazy person in traffic and weaving in and out and cut into my lane really close to my car

I'm going to put an asterisk on this and give a notable mention to people merging onto the GW parkway from 395N towards alexandria and who hang out at the merge point for a half an hour until 15 cars are lined up behind them. I have occasionally (rarely) honked at someone in this position who has forgone numerous opportunities to merge if there are a lot of cars waiting.
