Impatience is rampant these days, with harried drivers blaring horns to speed up traffic. The car horn was designed to alert other automobile drivers to potential hazards, i.e. swerving into oncoming traffic, drifting into the next lane.
Recently, I observed the impatient driver of a beautiful white Mercedes sedan waiting to turn onto Mineola Boulevard at a traffic light. When the light turned green, traffic proceeded slowly due to pedestrians crossing westward toward the hospital. This driver honked his horn abrasively and then barreled through the intersection once he had the chance
Perhaps the driver had been late for something. But that doesn’t mean you can speed off and be a danger to other drivers
Traffic can be a pain, use prudence. Take a bit of extra time for getting to your destination.
