What is a reasonable time one should wait before honking the person in front of you

[Candyman]

Once the light turns green .5 seconds OK?.

 

[papasmerf]

3 seconds seems reasonable.

The National Safety Council's defensive driving class manual says wait two seconds before accelerating, to avoid getting hit by a red light runner, and to use that time to look left, right, left to make sure the intersection is clear before entering the intersection.

Look to your right or left. Once it turns yellow, honk.

Even better, just before it turns green, honk! Get them off their cell phone.

Even better, just before it turns green, honk! Get them off their cell phone.

And off their makeup.

I count 2 seconds. I can see by their position if they're on their phone, if so, I blast my horn immediately, no 2 second grace.

I rolled up beside some woman in a junker after she delayed everyone at 2 lights and I could see her head down and texting and not paying attention. When I got up beside her, I rolled down my passenger window and shouted "GET THE FUCK OFF THE PHONE YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!" Her passenger just looked at me and flipped me off but the driver said to the passenger "How'd he know I was on my phone?" Fuck my life.

I give the horn a light tap double tap at the 3 second mark.

Bumper-mounted tazers should be mandatory.

You are a mean one Mr. Grinch! :biggrin2:

The Honk says a lot. A quick short honk is a friendly honk, laying on the horn is an angry WTF honk and a double quick honk is a warning honk.

YOUR HONK tells a lot about your mood, USE IT WISELY!

I purposely installed an aftermarket louder horn to better get the attention of idiotic drivers. Even a short toot will piss you off. That means it's done its job.
