I think it's time I knit you a new scarf. That one has served well, but you deserve a new scarf to keep you warm. What colour(s) would you like?
Maybe a new "smart horn" would be useful. One which can only be heard inside the cars in a certain radius around your own car. I guess that wouldn't work for anyone not in a car though. Well, there goes another million dollar idea ;)
Maybe proximity alarms in cars? I know most have them for parking. Maybe a loud scream everytime a car detects it's about to hit a person or some other thing?
I still think that cars should automatically detect when they're over the local speed limit and send an email to the Police. Welcome to my nightmarish vision of the future.
I hate car horns. I think the only time I used mine was to make sure it actually worked when I was purchasing the car. Around here people will randomly honk their horns if they see someone they know out on the road, and because I live in a very small town, it happens pretty regularly because everyone knows everyone else.
@cpckrock Yeah, we get that here too. This town is still pretty small. I dislike it when I instinctively wave to a honking car, only to find that 5 other people have just done the same.
That's when I start wishing crashes on people. Only strangers though.
I don't drive, but I have an airhorn that I set off when I leave my sister's place. I jest of course. I am only grateful that we don't use horns like they do in every non-English speaking country (every 5 seconds, like it's on a timer).
I'm surprised there aren't custom ring tones for car horns -- even though that would make for an awful world. Are there actually standards for how horns are supposed to sound? They're surprisingly similar car to car... now this is going to keep me up at night.
@missduni Whatever helps you get through another day at the office. Frankly they're lucky you don't drive your car into work literally. Through the building.
Only two times I know of a good use for a horn.To shew animals away and in the fog.They don't make them these days even really worth trying to do either of those though.I miss the horns that if you were checking the oil and some asshat in the car honked it you'd bash your head on the hood.Really what we need in cars is loud speakers so you can yell if you could do that it might help stop wrecks.
@bearchay889 I forgot about the animals. I'm all for loudspeakers and those message light bars in the rear windows of cars. All cars should have them for front and back, so that you can vent your displeasure to the other motorists. Or just to tell them that they have a nice car.
I always used to say that cars should have two horns, one of nice honks, and one for mean honks... like the nice one would be pleasant sounding like a soft mellow major chord, and you could use that for saying hi to someone you know when you drive passed them, or to let your family know you are outside waiting in the car for them, and that way the mean horn is only for when you want to murder somebody, or if they are about the murder you.
@UnityPhreak That would be ok. We had a milk float in town that used to have the General Lee horn from Dukes of Hazzard. That sucked on such a slow vehicle. It wasn't the irony that killed you, it was the fact that the guy could use it 10 or 12 times before he could clear your road.
I hear ya! Another thing which drives me mad is when drivers don't or indicate late!

@TheUltimateGroom That scarf is FINE. I've only just broken it in.

@omnidoug Wow. That means that there's car horn designers out there. That's a good one for breaking the ice at a party.
