A lot of time it is the Police activity that causes people to deviate their attention from the road where it should be to try and see what the cop is doing at the side of the road...

a lot of times when the airbag goes off the horn stays locked on. i dont know why though

its hysterical how some people posting here cannot take responsibility for their actions, yet operate a motor vehicle. this cop was responding to an accident and has no choice but to park where he is at in order to conduct an investigation. blaming your distraction on cops doing their jobs means you are ignorant and childish. take responsibilty for yourself.

Here in Cleveland, you see two things every single day...accidents on your way IN to work, and accidents on your way home. If you haven't been rear-ended YET by some aggressively driving jackwagon, your time is coming. I've had it TWICE now!

@MustangMan82389 The air horn stays locked (for safety reasons), in totaled crashes the drivers of the wrecked vehicles usually do not end up with out injuries which in most situations they do not put on their hazard lights, the air horn automatically locks it self, and lets other drivers know that they need to slow down. It is a good feature, specially at night accidents.

@TheMadFleasWife You have NO BUSINESS driving if you take your eyes off the road like that! Trying to blame it on a distraction is hilarious!

I could swear I heard the trooper say 'Holy Shit"! I guess this is one instance its okay to say shit on the radio!! LOL

@MustangMan82389 Because it blows out of the steering wheel; where the contacts for the horn button are. Usually the entire compartment blows out, the horn "button" is destroyed; leaving the ends of the wires or contacts free to touch each other. That is how the horn operates; the contacts in the horn button "contact" each other completing the circuit and sounding the horn.
