When you are on the road and driving how would react if the car on your back blos his horn so loud even the traffic light shows red?
This happens to me mostly everyday and there are times that it get me irritated because they saw a red light and thetraffic was heavy but they still continue on blowing thier horns. There are times that I just let them go first when the it turns to green light cause I was thinking that they might be in a hurry but there are times that I even ignore them and don't let them pass before me.
How about you? How wuld you react on these drivers?

Some drivers can be so rude with
their constant honking.
It's not your fault!
It's their fault.
They should have more patience.
You have no control over the red light.
Where the heck are those honkers going
in such a rush?
And why didn't they just leave a half hour
ahead of time, so they wouldn't be so rushed?

Ignorance is bliss, that's what they say. Apart from an ambulance i wouldn't let anyone intimidate me at a traffic light, especially if it's red. I like to make jokes about these crazy drivers and say something like: "go on dude, the first tree is waiting for you"

I myself get really irratated, and I'm sorry I'm one of those horrible drivers that if you are honking at me for no aparent reason, I just tend to stall just to make them even more mad or slowly take off. Because I too am in a hurry and they have to wait like everyone else and I feel if they are that much in a hurry they can pass ahead of me.
There are other times too that if I am having a good day, then I will just be nice and let them pass.

Yes Ayessa, this is most irritating, I must say I personally get mad and often have my peace to say to these bad mannered drivers. I'll tell you what an elderly friend of mine once did; His car broke down in the middle of a busy road and while he was trying the best to sort the thing out, some guy behind him in the road kept blowing his horn. Eventually in anger he went up to this driver and said 'Why don't you go and fix my car and I will sit and blow the horn at you'!In our country we have millions of very inconsiderate taxi's who blow horns all day long, push in front of other drivers and cause untold accidents. The very best for you, if you don't want to die of a heart attack, is to get out of the way and make up your mind to not let them bug you. Let them have the heart attacks!!

I thought this problem exist in our city only, but I was wrong, it exists in your city too........LOL! People are really restless now a days and they just cannot see that it is red light and it is not possible to jump the red light or cross the red light, till it turns to green. some people are really impatient and they vent out their anger at the poor horn, constantly blowing it for now fault of the horn. They do not reach anywhere and they do not cover up the distance in less time, because you would find them waiting at the next red light.
I just igonore these kinds of horns and do not bother at all. I know, if I am on the red light, I cannot move ahead, till it turns green. I just divert my attention to some beautiful and attractive hoardings, to get rid of this kind of trouble.

i have a very low tolerance with those kind of drivers. in my younger age, i will really run after these drivers and sometimes i find some quarrels on the road. but now, as my wife keeps on telling my to be very careful and calm whenever i am on the road. if this happens to me again, i will just ignore them and let them go ahead of me.

i just ignore them. If they cant wait for the traffic light to turn green, then they dont need a car, they need a chopper!!
If they are in a hurry because of an emergency, then they should flash their hazard lights on, so people infront of them would know so they can let him/her pass.
If they are just plain bored of waiting, then carry their car or better, invent a flying car!!
If I dont ignore them, They would ruin my day and I hate it when my day is ruined, specially if the day started right...so, I just sit there and relax and let them rot!

I feel irritated to those driver.. It seems they don't know the meaning of red light in the traffic light.. Sometimes, I'm thinking the reason why they keep on beeping it is because the driver wants attention to see his/her car as if it is new or good condition.. I really hate those kind of driver how I wish that the MMDA will get their license for beeping too loud..

Usually I just don't mind those drivers. As long as I know that I'm following traffic rules they have no right to do that to me.

This is my standard reply. I wave to them like crazy as if they are my friend. Throws them off every time. If they are behind me, then I just ignore them.

Hi Ayessa.
For me, I would get mad with them and just react accordingly but that would be about as far as I would take it. I couldn't do anything, it's just not right to react any other way.
Catch ya later
