Horn the Bugger!

Now that I am driving regularly to work, it is becoming somewhat difficult in acquiring new material for blogging.

During my public transport era, there are so many fun ways to directly confront and annoy inconsiderate commuters, since it all takes place within the same vehicle.

In the new age, there is not much I can do towards ugly drivers. At my disposal, there is the horn which I use with extreme relish, and the flashing of headlamps which I think is much less effective than the former in conveying a "WTF!" message.

So essentially, I am limited only to a single action of horning other cars, which effects to very boring posts. Imagine the following..

A car suddenly cut into my lane without signalling!

Bastard! So I horned the bugger!

A lorry was eating into my lane, but he is obviously not changing lane at all. Bloody driver must be drunk or something!

So I horned the bugger!

So you see, there is not much I can do onto others, except to press the horn which is the proper thing to do anyway in those circumstances (as a warning device).

There was something else interesting which I witnessed today. I was driving in the rightmost lane behind two vehicles, a sport-car and a minivan. The sport-car itself was tailgating behind the slower minivan, as if to force the latter to speed up or switch to another lane.

In reaction, the minivan driver started to tap his brakes intermittently. I could see the red brake lights at the back repeatedly lighting on and off like morse code. The road in front of the minivan is completely clear, so there is no reason for the bugger to touch his brakes, not that he was going fast in the first place. So obviously he was taunting the sport-car tailgating him.

In any case, I do not advocate such actions when driving. It is both dangerous and a waste of petrol due to the unnecessary braking. I may be a confrontational person, but I am not stupid as well.

I do not know what happened next, as I switched over to the left lane and overtook both vehicles. Stupid buggers do make my day.
