Using Your Horn to Avoid Collisions
If you are caught in a collision trap, you can sound your horn to avoid collisions. Use it using the following guidelines:
- Don't honk because you are upset, angry or they made a mistake. Mistakes happen, you may upset their driving or they may become aggravated or aggressive with you.
- Flash your headlights to warn traffic ahead of you that can see the front of your car.
- Don't honk at someone for driving too slow. They may be having problems with their car, lost or ill.
- Try to get "eye contact" and don't honk at other times.
- If a driver is attempting to turn in front of you hit your horn, but only enough to warn the driver.
