Dont think I have ever Honked yet in all the years of driving, but have said the odd bad word to annoying drivers under my breadth and the odd hand signal! Marie

Hi folks I must admit in my younger days I would often hoot when people upset me. Have grown out of the habit now At one point I even asked a guy I knew if he could fit my car with 'airhorns' so I could do a Dukes of Hazard type salvo. Dee x

I probably honk my horn a lot more than that lol. I live in a small village and everyone tends to honk their horn to wave at people, shouldn't I know, but we do.

Is that fifteen point two five zero, or fifteen thousand two hundred and fifty? If the latter it's way over the top for the UK, might apply in other countries.

I can't even think of an occasion when I've used the horn, although I do get irritated by certain drivers. In Israel, I found that if you're still waiting at the lights less than a second after they turned green, the person behind will be swiftly on their horn.

Hi folks The fact comes from a book entitled 'Shite's Unoriginal Miscellany' by A. Parody, as do quite a few of the other useless pieces of information I post from time to time Dee xx By the way Brian it is fifteen thousand, two hundred and fifty times, I have changed my full stop to a comma, sorry about the confusion

Marie, you say you use the odd bad word, well it seems that, on average, a car driver will swear at least 32,000 (thirty two thousand) times in their lifetime, while driving I'm certainly well on target with that one!!!! Dee x

Although I am over 61yrs old I only passed my test 6yrs ago & I can honestly say I have never honked, I don't even think about it. Vivienne
