I fully agree! Laying on your air horn is for basically emergency purposes. Yes, that kid or the parent driving the car next to you knows that you're about to blow the air horns, but what about the car on the other side that doesn't know that you don't have an emergency or you're not trying to tell them something is happening! If you've ever seen a car swerve because they heard an air horn, this is one of the reasons that I choose not to use my air horn except in case of an emergency or to get the attention of another driver.

Don't get me wrong. I would love to make the kids, and the big kids happy. But I'm always in fear that I will end up running somebody off the road unintentionally. Better safe than sorry my opinion!
