QUOTE(Keith C. Johns @ May 5 2008, 12:10 AM) "But this thread is about ALL uses of the horn, not just by aggressive drivers, and horn blows ARE used by good drivers as part of good driving technique when used to alert others of their presence, and other polite uses already mentioned. And it is useful to be able to interpret the meaning behind these horn sounds and not get angry when the message was not intended to be unfriendly. If you just assume that any horn blow is mean spirited, you will probably be misinterpreting many of these and possibly create conflicts with an aggressive response. Better to realize that all horn blows are not bad, even including some by drivers of FSUVs." Well, I see some rare instances where blowing the horn may become necessary, but I don't see the need to use to give so many different messages that riders would have to decipher. When you are concentrated in your thing, or tired from riding, you don't need to be guessing people's intentions. And chances are you'll feel intimidated when you have several tons of steel next to you... Wouldn't it better to educate the drivers NOT to blow the horn at cyclists? |
