Rainmaker Neutral Newbie December 7, 2009 Share December 7, 2009 drivers here horn only, their ears will rot so they are super sensitive to horns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singhao 1st Gear December 7, 2009 Share December 7, 2009 I guess it depends on why you are being horned at? Whether it is justified or not... Got a few times, I get horned by taxis for not turning right when the incoming road is clear to turn but the turning right light is RED. Grrrrr...

Jeff49er Clutched December 7, 2009 Share December 7, 2009 I usully tap a light horn for a friendly reminder that the other car is about to drift to my lane for eg. A hard horn is for those drivers who abruptly swtch lane and the horn is more for alarm. If I high beam my HID then I am mad becos of inconsiderate driving.

Kiadaw 6th Gear December 7, 2009 Share December 7, 2009 If horned as I cut into their lane or do something careless, or as warning, like reversing. I am fine. I do feel irritated when I got horned at the lights, if I didn't moved off just before the lights turn, or if the lights turn, but I play safe to make sure the cars at the other side slowed or stop. I seen my fair share of red light bashers to risk a collision just to gain 0.5 sec of time. But I let them horn, I just bochap. For me safety first. I however, feel a little sad, at how impatient our drivers are, & the impression we left for foreigners. When I was in England, they say I must be a "racer", as I am from Singapore, as its their perception of us. But, you can't blame them at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angmokio Neutral Newbie December 7, 2009 Share December 7, 2009 (edited) Singapore is a relatively "safe" country, so a typical decent driver will not hesitate to honk, overtake, purposely jam brake, stare & maybe point middle finger, irregardless of who is the receiving end, because we got "LAW" to protect us. Try that in our Boleh land. or even in USA, where ppl carry guns. chances of honking the wrong ppl at the wrong time is very high.

JJNull Neutral Newbie December 7, 2009 Share December 7, 2009 Hate ppl who horn in jams. We know its a jam and will u pls not add to noise pollution. Not like the horn can do anything to improve the situation. Yea man, don't understand why ppl behind like to stomp their horn in a jam when there's totally no space to move at all. It's not like horning will help and it's totally irritating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time move off, but slowly lor........ got many times lights just turned green only got ppl horn, too bad for the driver behind as when I hear horn, I will slow down in case someone is warning me of danger ahead.
