WWN Motoring: The Correct Horn-Blast For Every Situation
ONE of the most useful tools available to motorists is, and always has been, the car horn. From warning fellow motorists of danger to getting the attention of pedestrians, the car horn is the perfect way for a driver to tell the world ‘hey! I’m here’.
However, many motorists can find themselves unsure as to how to use their horn, and when. Follow our guide to solve all your horn-related queries!
1) A Pedestrian Walks Out In Front Of You
You’re driving along, watching the road, maybe eating a sandwich, and you spot a pedestrian who walks out in front of you (or at least looks like they might walk out in front of you). Better get some horn going!
Appropriate Horn Usage
Lay your hand on the horn as hard as you can, and hold it there until you’re well up the road. Glare at the pedestrian as you pass, pointing at your eyes with two fingers while mouthing obscenities at them.
2) A motorist is failing to drive in a manner that suits you
Someone driving too slow in front of you? Maybe waiting that millisecond too long after a red light turns green? Seems unsure of where they are or where they’re going? HORN TIME.
Appropriate Horn Usage
Lay your hand on the horn as hard as you can, and hold it there until you’re well up the road. Glare at them as you pass, pointing at your eyes with two fingers while mouthing obscenities at them.
3) You veer out onto the wrong side of the road, nearly hitting another car
Perhaps you had to overtake a cyclist, perhaps you had to avoid a parked car in a tight housing estate, perhaps you were checking your phone and found yourself ever so slightly on the wrong side of the road. Either way, there’s an irate motorist looking at you as if you’re some kind of asshole. Time to let him know who’s boss!
Appropriate Horn Usage
Lay your hand on the horn as hard as you can, and hold it there until you’re well up the road. Glare at the motorist as you pass, pointing at your eyes with two fingers while mouthing obscenities at them.
4) Someone is keeping you waiting outside their house
They said they’d be just a minute, but they’ve been at least three! It’s ten o’clock at night, and you’ve places to be! A little hornage will tell them to get a move on!
Appropriate Horn Usage
Lay your hand on the horn as hard as you can, and hold it there until you’re well up the road. Glare at your friend as you leave the house and get in the car, while pointing at your eyes with two fingers and mouthing obscenities at them.
5) You see a girl you like
Hey there, sexy legs… I like the way you walk. Now if only there was some way I could get you to turn around and look my way as I drive by OH WAIT THERE IS
Appropriate Horn Usage
Lay your hand on the horn as hard as you can, and hold it there until you’re well up the road. Glare at the girl as you pass, pointing at your eyes with two fingers while mouthing obscenities at her.
