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 |
