And no one gives courtesy honks. My new job requires me to make bi-weekly incursions into Southern Georgia from north florida, and as soon as I cross state lines it's like I'm driving with a bunch of goddamn savages. Someone merges lanes? No courtesy honk. Brakes? No courtesy honk. Starts moving again after coming to a stop? No courtesy honk. I'm going to need an amphetamine prescription to maintain the level of focus required to drive alongside these knuckleheads.

What the gently caress is a courtesy honk? Honking is for when that stupid motherfucker is trying to change lanes and isn't paying attention to your car in the physical space his wants to occupy. Learn how to drive redneck.

Maybe for the Inferiors & Histrionics who perceive it as a personal insult. In the south, it is a way for courteous motorists to provide feedback to those around them in service of greater road safety.

This is why I've always thought cars should have two horns: one that is friendly, to be used to alert someone the light has changed, to inform someone you're waiting for them outside their house, or to greet someone you know walking in the street; and the other would be the one we have now, designed to annoy people into noticing you. Life would be so much more civil!

In my life, I have only experienced "courtesy honks" in developing nations with lovely, narrow roads.

Not all of us are blessed with the over-developed faculties of social awareness necessary to pick up on the 'visual cues' you claim to display while driving.

The only time I've even heard of "courtesy honks" is when gabriel iglesias was describing driving in India.

Truth.

Also if you don't immediately jerk your car into the right lane after passing them and scream, "IS THIS SO HARD!?" you fuckin did it wrong.
