The Cure for Horn Honking Accusations
Regardless of where you live, the road is filled with problems. Traffic, potholes, aggressive drivers, overzealous teens, walking-dead elders, and tons of idiots – just to name a few.
A problem you are likely familiar with is horn honking. It’s that jarring noise that makes you want to rip the driver right out of their seat.
Perhaps we are a more civilized society, but I dare say that horn use is more frowned upon than never before. While it would be nice to think that it’s a quality of life issue that has curbed horn use, or the threat of a $220 horn honking summons. But I’d like to point to another factor.
MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Here’s the scenario. Let’s say Jack is sitting at a red light. Behind him is Benny. Behind Benny is Rob. Impatient because Jack is idling now that the light is green, Rob slams a heavy palm onto his horn.
BEEP - BEEP – BEEP
Startled by the sudden racket, Jack glares into his rear view mirror and holds up a finger of the middle variety – pointed right at Benny – our innocent bystander.
Benny would love to explain to Jack that it was not he who over-reacted. But how? The three men are planted firmly in their two-ton beasts, communication, not an option.
Here’s what JOAB proposes. Your horn should be wired to a bright light that illuminates your entire vehicle, that way, there’s no mistaking who is honking.
You’re either with me or wrong.
