re: Honking at the vehicle in front of you at a stop light

Car manufacturers should install a "polite" honk or a "noodge" honk for just such an occasion.

This does exist! People don't realize if you bonk the horn with bottom of your fist it makes a short quiet honk.

If you press down, even for a second, it's loud enough to warn a train. I save this horn for jerks, rest of the time it's just the tap.
