And I live in the south east where most people adapt to cope with each others' behaviour without going into a hissy fit at every opportunity. Please explain your scenario in more detail. Now think of a roundabout without lanes.* Or maybe one with two entry lanes and three exits.* And don't assume that cars at the other side can tell what lane you're in. Still not enough information. Every roundabout is different. No mention of timing and you don't say which driver ends up aiming at the other driver's doors. No indicator means you're going straight ahead, end of story. Straight on from where? Once a roundabout is more than a certain size the relationship between entry and exit becomes completely irrelevant. You seem to be just trying to make a point rather than trying to work out how to use a roundabout in the most efficient way for the circumstances you find at the time. It is not intended to convey the message: "Get out of my way or there might be a crash". I such circumstances, you are supposed to slow down or stop.

I once used horn to try and stop a van driver from reversing into me. The HC seems to allow that. Alerting him to your presence is the specific purpose of a horn; that much has been said already. It is a special case when stationary. Using the horn for its proper purpose is a very rare occurrence. It's hard to escape the conclusion that you're just supposed to stop in order to avoid a collision. The original HC in the 1930's said "sounding your horn does not give you right of way or absolve you from the duty of taking every precaution to avoid an accident". Unfortunately this seems to have disappeared from the modern version. "warn[ing] other road users of your presence" is not particularly helpful. There's still the law about driving without due care and attention and/or without due consideration for other road users. The requirement that a horn should not be used when stationary seems a bit strange because (offhand) I can't think of a circumstance nowadays where the horn could be useful while moving. Perhaps the requirement came from the days when motor vehicles were hard to control and there were few of them so people were not used to their presence. Now, people use roads with the full expectation that something big and fast operated by a psychopath is round the next corner. Also, bulb air horns were more acceptable than the nasty electric objects fitted today. The obvious use whilst moving would be when approaching ths "summit" of a hump-backed bridge or a sharp bend. Perhaps you mean something like this? It is is harder seen from a driver's perspective than from a high mounted camera. No need. Adjust speed according to what can be seen. https://goo.gl/maps/9MSMX69BxzM2 Not hump-backed enough to need it. You can easily see traffic approaching from the opposite direction, even if driving a Triumph Spitfire. In order for the horn-sounding to be even semi-valid, the bridge really needs to be a narrowing of the road as well (which the Italian one was). https://goo.gl/maps/R48YMSxzjQk That one is narrow, but you can still see the oncoming traffic. Sounding the horn would not serve a useful purpose. Incidentally, the bridge has a 2t mgw limit so several drivers shown here are breaking the rules - plus many others plus a council official with a Range Rover that knows full well. There's no sign saying so. Is this an older Google photo? A multi-storey car-park near here had a down-ramp with a give way line at the bottom of it, with the posibility of traffic approaching from the left. A sign on the wall said "Sound Horn". I never did. Weird. Exactly. I bet someone thought it was clever, though. There were houses near the location and the occupants were as entitled to reasonable efforts to keep down noise as anyone else is. Well done you. Likewise, an Italian friend used to sound his car horn on a hump-backed bridge near his village. But the bridge had a house adjacent to it. He would never listen to my remonstrations; I gained the impression that he... [...revelled in it.] Sorry, missed that out last time. On a bicycle, the voice can be useful because the approach behind pedestrians or horse riders is otherwise silent. When there is insufficient clearance to get past without having their awareness I always slow to match their speed before announcing my presence. That sort of sounds OK and in keeping with the HC instructions on motor-vehicle horns. Except motor vehicles already make so much noise that they don't require embellishment. Making pedestrians aware of my presence when I approach behind them isn't needed in the car as it is on the bike. I still believe that it would be better if car-horns were simply banned. The nuisance caused by mis-use far outweighs the weight of the odd anecdotal case for their use for safety-related purposes. Indeed. At most, such "safety-related purposes" could only cover small insurance claims and can't possibly have effect on personal safety. If the horn was not so unpleasant, the administrators that defined the 90dbA standard understood physics and the pad on the steering wheel was force sensing to allow the driver to add expression it might be more acceptable. Is that the C&U standard? I never knew that. |

A wideband 90dbA source would be completely inaudible inside a vehicle. In case your thoughts are drifting, the "150db" horns used by some cyclists are probably fairly similar, except measured in a different way. If it was done in the same way, the extra 60db would require a million times more power. |

Just because Mr Smith is not indicating right it is not correct for AN Other to pull out on a whim. Too many hims and thems. Explain who is doing what and who ends up in front of whom. *If you don't indicate right at a roundabout, you do not have the right to turn right.* WTF are you doing turning without informing other road users as to where you intend to go? When following marked lanes indication is not necessary. Indication is only useful when making lane changes or where there is ambiguity. And I live in the south east where most people adapt to cope with each others' behaviour without going into a hissy fit at every opportunity. Please explain your scenario in more detail. *Now think of a roundabout without lanes.* Or maybe one with two entry lanes and three exits.* And don't assume that cars at the other side can tell what lane you're in. Still not enough information. Every roundabout is different. No mention of* timing and you don't say which driver ends up aiming at the other driver's doors. This is precisely why everyone should indicate. Precisely why what? You're still short of description. Have you entered the roundabout ahead of the other driver or are you entering while the other driver is ahead of you? No indicator means you're going straight ahead, end of story. Straight on from where? Once a roundabout is more than a certain size the relationship between entry and exit becomes completely irrelevant. You seem to be just trying to make a point rather than trying to work out how to use a roundabout in the most efficient way for the circumstances you find at the time. Depending on the size, I indicate left when I leave, and indicate right if I'm going around it a fair distance. With very rare exceptions I don't indicate twice; either right while circulating or left before leaving, depending on layout, lane and conditions. There are roundabouts where the major road goes right, and though minor roads join between, it is not necessary to indicate when following the major. There are many other examples. |

Er no. It means "You ****ing arsehole, why the hell didn't you indicate?!" A horn conveys no information so how are your targets supposed to know what your problem is? Well let me see, Mr Smith turns right at a roundabout without indicating, and someone correctly pulls in front of him, then sounds their horn when they see he's about to collide with them. He can then look up the highway code or whatever and find out why the other car had the right of way. Just because Mr Smith is not indicating right it is not correct for AN Other to pull out on a whim. Too many hims and thems. Explain who is doing what and who ends up in front of whom. If you don't indicate right at a roundabout, you do not have the right to turn right. WTF are you doing turning without informing other road users as to where you intend to go? When following marked lanes indication is not necessary. Indication is only useful when making lane changes or where there is ambiguity. And I live in the south east where most people adapt to cope with each others' behaviour without going into a hissy fit at every opportunity. Please explain your scenario in more detail. Now think of a roundabout without lanes. Or maybe one with two entry lanes and three exits. And don't assume that cars at the other side can tell what lane you're in. Still not enough information. Every roundabout is different. No mention of timing and you don't say which driver ends up aiming at the other driver's doors. This is precisely why everyone should indicate. Precisely why what? You're still short of description. Have you entered the roundabout ahead of the other driver or are you entering while the other driver is ahead of you? It doesn't matter. You should always indicate so other drivers don't have to guess at your intentions. No indicator means you're going straight ahead, end of story. Straight on from where? Once a roundabout is more than a certain size the relationship between entry and exit becomes completely irrelevant. You seem to be just trying to make a point rather than trying to work out how to use a roundabout in the most efficient way for the circumstances you find at the time. Depending on the size, I indicate left when I leave, and indicate right if I'm going around it a fair distance. With very rare exceptions I don't indicate twice; either right while circulating or left before leaving, depending on layout, lane and conditions. There are roundabouts where the major road goes right, and though minor roads join between, it is not necessary to indicate when following the major. There are many other examples. Then you're a ****ing idiot and a danger to other road users. |

Perhaps you mean something like this? It is is harder seen from a driver's perspective than from a high mounted camera. No need. Adjust speed according to what can be seen. https://goo.gl/maps/9MSMX69BxzM2 Not hump-backed enough to need it. You can easily see traffic approaching from the opposite direction, even if driving a Triumph Spitfire. I know a Spitfire owner so I shall have to ask. When looking around Streetview various perspectives show they put the camera roughly level with the height a high roof Sprinter van (2.8m). Believe me, it is difficult on a live approach where you also don't have the luxury of spending time looking at a static scene. You must have seen (or a picture of) a google camera car. The camera is on a tripod on the roof. The angle of the shot is more like that of a lorry driver. In order for the horn-sounding to be even semi-valid, the bridge really needs to be a narrowing of the road as well (which the Italian one was). https://goo.gl/maps/R48YMSxzjQk That one... ...is the same one from other direction. is narrow, but you can still see the oncoming traffic. Sounding the horn would not serve a useful purpose. Incidentally, the bridge has a 2t mgw limit so several drivers shown here are breaking the rules - plus many others plus a council official with a Range Rover that knows full well. There's no sign saying so. Is this an older Google photo? The signs are at the roundabouts at each end of the road. So many superfluous signs nowadays nobody notices the important ones anyway. A multi-storey car-park near here had a down-ramp with a give way line at the bottom of it, with the posibility of traffic approaching from the left. A sign on the wall said "Sound Horn". I never did. Weird. Exactly. I bet someone thought it was clever, though. There were houses near the location and the occupants were as entitled to reasonable efforts to keep down noise as anyone else is. Well done you. Likewise, an Italian friend used to sound his car horn on a hump-backed bridge near his village. But the bridge had a house adjacent to it. He would never listen to my remonstrations; I gained the impression that he... [...revelled in it.] Sorry, missed that out last time. OK If the horn was not so unpleasant, the administrators that defined the 90dbA standard understood physics and the pad on the steering wheel was force sensing to allow the driver to add expression it might be more acceptable. Is that the C&U standard? I never knew that. Yes, 90dbA at 2m is the standard. The problem is that it isn't sensible to measure a narrowband signal with a wideband instrument. A wideband 90dbA source would be completely inaudible inside a vehicle. In case your thoughts are drifting, the "150db" horns used by some cyclists are probably fairly similar, except measured in a different way. If it was done in the same way, the extra 60db would require a million times more power. There can't be a followed standard as I've observed cars with horns much louder than others. |
