We don’t know if you’re high, sleeping, on your phone, or just watching SpongeBob on your infotainment panel.
All we know is that you’re failing of the one expectation of you.
Honking at you gets your attention back where it needs to be. Don’t take it personal. People have places to be.
y’all are using your phones and drug paraphernalia way too fucking often. it’s infuriating how little you cagers don’t pay attention meanwhile you’re surrounded by computer controlled explosives and hundreds of pounds of glass.
Theoretically, if they just have a slower reaction time than you, you are actually slowing them down as they now have to look around to make sure you aren’t honking because of potential danger, which is the actual usage purpose of a car horn.
Edit: Additionally, this creates a broader societal danger as the “go when honked at!” mentality is entirely opposite of the true purpose of a horn.
Example: Person in front is about to go, you notice that someone is running the red light perpendicular, you honk to signal the danger, now instead of recognizing the danger, they go anyway, thinking you were impatiently honking, leading directly to an accident.
Honk means “pay attention”. If the light has been green long enough for me to honk at you you’re not paying attention to anything on the road, danger or otherwise.
the original discussion was about people who honk instantly.
The top of this thread is someone saying they don’t know if you’re paying attention. I was replying to your comment about “honking meaning move immediately.”
Conversations shift as people say things. If I wanted to comment on the original discussion I would have started a new thread relplying to the original discussion. I was replying to you about the thing you said.

If your reaction time is worse than 2 seconds I question if you should be driving. Driving is not a responsibility you should take lightly.
Honk doesn’t mean go, honk means pay attention.

For you specifically, maybe. Your experience is not universal and the original discussion was about people who honk instantly.

I took it as: The OP is about honking instantly.
The top of the thread is trying to justify impatiently honking immediately. “I’m impatient and idk why you aren’t moving immediately!”
Hence my response that they could just have a slower reaction time to the light turning.
So when you say “if the lights been green long enough”
I reply about how “green long enough” is subjective and the thread is biased towards the an Immediate honk.
Ffs just drive when the light turns green. Stop trying to find every little fucking loophole
