Last week when some idiot got into a right turn only lane and then decided at the last minute that they didn't want to do that and almost sideswiped the rental car I had.
Prior to that, when the person missed the left turn lane on 123 for Tyson's Mall and then thinks it's ok to hang out in the left through lane and back up traffic. I actually lay on my horn when people do this. Just go to the next light.
For me, it would have been when I wasn't paying attention to or have missed the light turning green, which is perfectly understandable.

That’s on YOU. You’re supposed to let people back out of spaces.
This seems wrong. In most cases, drivers going forward in the flow of traffic have the right-of-way when someone is backing out.

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.
LOL. Where was this?

So I hit the gas up to 100mph. Guy comes up my tail and starts honking. I had the top down as I had an old Mercedes like 18 years old and a V8. Guy Is honking so I say screw it and floor it.

As my pants us crapping as I just took a 18 year old car with 120,000 miles up to 140 mph he pulls up beside me salutes me, gets behind as we go back to a modest 85 and get off next exit.
Who the heck beeps at a car going 100 mph to speed up or move over?
Stay right, pass left, jacka$$.

LOL, you're probably also the person who thinks that because they have their turn signal on they can just drift into the next lane even though it's not clear. I let people in when they need to merge, but the people who signal and think that earns them the right to switch lanes instead of looking and properly positioning themselves crack me up.

I get honked at weekly for not mowing down pedestrians in the crosswalk when someone impatient is behind me. I also get honked at for making a legal left turn but not plowing into oncoming traffic so the person behind me can go. I'm not an aggressive driver, but I'm certainly assertive and confident enough for city streets, some people are just stupid.
I honked at someone for drifting into my lane and almost hitting me yesterday.

Whenever I see someone looking down at their phone while they drive along, weaving in and out of their lane, I honk.

I know other look at their phones while they drive. I believe everyone should pay attention to their driving, not their phone (weird, I know).
Do you think the honking helps? Genuine question.

Yes I get irritated when people honk to teach people a lesson or whatever they think they’re doing. It’s not going to make the person a better driver and it just annoys everybody.
I do honk when people don’t go when the light turns green. I think we have all been a little distracted at a light and a reminder to go is a good idea. I try to keep the honk short, just a tap on the steering wheel.

That’s on YOU. You’re supposed to let people back out of spaces.
DP. If someone is driving past you, you don't get to back into them. This is why it makes more sense to back into the space - there's generally nothing behind you but a wall or a parked car when you back in, and then you can see what's going on when you pull out.

Someone had painted “honk if love is love” on their car and I just went for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
