Have you ever noticed that auto drivers use horn when they need to use the brake?
I am travelling quite bit on my bike these days going to office and coming back, it is 25km one way and it takes nearly an hour to reach my destination. Today morning I was driving to office and I had to slow down as there was red-light ahead and a bunch of vehicles were also waiting at the signal. An auto guy was driving behind me and he is also approaching the same signal. But then he sees me slowing down and also the other vehicles that are waiting, and what does he do? He honks!
I am not sure what thought process behind the honking is. Actually I am not sure there is any thought involved, it is sort of like a reflex action:
"Hmm... the distance between me and the vehicle(s) in front me is decreasing...i gotta honk. well, that didn't help... let me continue honking and may be apply the brakes as well"
