Like people driving in two lanes, especially when one lane goes in the opposite direction. Or people cutting me off by turning on their red, without looking to see that there's a 2 ton truck coming at them at 40 mph.Sigh.

And I am half suspecting that it's more of maybe one of the two is busted, since he's had a PF too (before the oil crisis).Last week, I was driving directly behind my friend, honking at him many times, but I just didn't get his attention.I'm bored, so I decided to order some new horns to replace the stock horns... hey come in a pair of 400 and 500 Hz. Should get them by next weekend, I hope.So I wonder, how much more attention I'll get with those. There are youtube videos with people showing off those horns.
