I honk at other people all the time. At least a couple times a week.

Too many people only think about themselves about driving, and I use the honk to let them know: "hey, pay attention please. there are other people in this situation you know." Situations include people using their phones at lights (if there's "one Mississippi" and your brake lights are still on, you get a honk). Or you are making a left turn and refuse to pull up to allow people behind you to go around (and there would be space, if you pulled up). Or if they're not driving center-straight and their tire keeps hitting the line on a multi lane road.

Pay attention, be considerate, and you don't get a honk. I don't do it to be mean but to alert the driver to be more mindful of their surroundings.

The last time I was honked at was months ago, at least. Maybe a year or more. I think I probably succumbed to checking my phone at a light, though usually I'm very good about it.

I honk at people who dangerously cut me off.

I honked today because a woman was making a left hand turn and she literally came half into the right side lane on the street she was turning onto. If I had continued driving up to the stop sign line she would have hit me in the middle of my car.

Yesterday. I honked at someone for sitting in his car in the middle of a narrow, one-way street and blocking it.

I'm a regular green-light honker - sorry! People are too distracted these days. Also, I was distracted and got honked at recently. Other instances are when creeps honk at me from the car when I'm walking down the street dressed up or in yoga clothes smh.

You seriously waited 90 seconds behind someone at a green light??

But was there small print underneath it that said "when pedestrians are present?" I see a lot of people do this with poor vision who can't read the second part (or they ignore it), and get honked at (rightfully so).

I was honked yesterday when I wouldn't make a right on red. In my defense, there was a No Right on Red sign.

I pretty much only honk at people sitting at green lights on their phones. I do that every couple months? I probably get honked at about that often too, but I don't recall the last time it happened.

Someone honked at me a couple of weeks ago when my lane ended and I was merging into the traffic and (mistakenly) thought they would slow down to let me in.

I can’t remember the last time I honked at someone. My drivers Ed instructor told us that having to honk is a sign of bad driving on the honker’s part.

I tap/gentle honk when the person in front of me doesn't realize the light has changed from red to green (usuallybecause they are on their phone, not because I tapped a split sec9nd after the light changed).

Last week. I honked at someone who didn't see me as he was backing out. Before that, it's been years. I couldn't tell you the last time I've been honked at

And do you think it's an even ratio? Do others honk at you more often thank you use your horn on others... or vice versa?
