I tend not to use my horn, but sometimes I'm tempted...
The local tendency is to use the loudest blast of horns when other drivers are perceived to be slow in moving (by Milli-seconds even) at light controlled intersections.
I am more affable, believing that sudden increases in my blood pressure are mostly avoidable by allowing others to exist in peace as well.
Today, I was fourth car back from the intersection, waiting to turn left onto a major road. With the green arrow, cars one and two rounded the corner but number three failed to move.
When the driver noted her green invitation, she put her novel onto the passenger seat and moved up just in time to get the red light ~ whereupon she picked up her novel again.
(Insert warning blast of my horn into the story - with novel laid down again.)
With the next arrow, we completed our turns, she taking the left lane and me the middle lane at the next lights.
(You might be ahead of me.)
She picked up the novel again. (Sorry I didn't get its name, but it must be a good one!)
