One thing that always blows my mind with east/west coast drivers in the US is how differently they use the horn. SoCal drivers are unhinged and it's a terrifying place to drive, but no one ever honks unless absolutely necessary. You could probably get away with this much honking on the east coast, but on the west coast you'd get fucking shot. People are more considerate about not over honking than they are about straight piping their mufflers.
Lol. I'm really not an aggressive driver, but honk like a motherfucker. It keeps traffic moving at Rush hour. East Coast cities be like 🤗📣
I can’t imagine that. Everywhere I’ve ever lived, nobody beeps unless something egregious happens. Why beep just to make noise? That’s insanity and annoying to everyone around.
Not just to make noise, it's mainly to wake people tf up at lights, or like the other poster said, to let them know theyre drifting outta the lane. And yes, some vengeance honks as well.
