Indeed not, but perfectly understandable - only a smug little pedant
with nothing to contribute would have made an issue of it.

but
the point was clear. Motorists seem to think the horn is to say 'get
out of my way', or 'you cut me up'.
This.


There is a simple answer:Â* Do not get in other road users way, and do
not cut them up.Â* Then there will be no hooting.

Here's a word from Pounder:
Pillock.



but that does answer the grievance, people rarely hoot accidentally, it
is usually because of something another road has done, or may be about
to do.
Therefore, if you behave sensibly and lawfully, it will be
unusual for anyone to hoot you, except as a warning of imminent danger,
and no-one should really object to that.
