I've only honked my horn less than 5 times in my 2 years of driving:
1. Because some kids had run out in front of my car in a busy intersection and I had nearly hit them
2. At an old couple as they were reversing onto a main street and nearly into my car. I do feel guilty about this one, but it was a light tap of the horn to let them know I was there and to stop reversing.
3. At an idiot in a hotted up commondor ute who cut me off by merging illegally.
and I can't remember the last two, but i only honk the horn if somebody does something illegal or soething that could have/is about to damage my car. I have been honked at a few times, but I feel that only a few were justified. One time was when i was on my L's and I stalled at the traffic lights (you think people would be more understanding...)
The first time I got really abused on my P's was a woman in a demo car on a test drive that was going 20-35 in a 60 zone and I was driving a bit too close for her liking (from memory, I counted a 2 second gap). She pulled over and started blaring the horn and flashing her lights. I rather stupidly pulled over to see what her problem was, as did the guy behind me. He started yelling at her to "learn how to drive or fuck off". He took down the demo rego plate and the dealer and contacted them then and there about her lack of driving skills and abuse of the car lol as the woman screamed at me about how I was "intimidating". Guy told me to get in my car and go, as I had done nothing wrong. So I did.
