It’s possible, but assuming he does without any evidence is wrong. There is actually evidence he might that I found, so I don’t defend him per se, but I think this particular example is fine.

Interestingly enough, the reddit commenter never claimed it saved his life, he said it MAY have saved his life.

No we don’t.

Prove any of that, and you’ve got a point. Otherwise, it’s all in your head to justify calling this guy a douche.

Yes, because I don’t agree that the guy with the horn is an asshole, unless he uses it on petty stuff. That wasn’t petty stuff. Prove he uses it on petty stuff, instead of assuming he does, and you have a point.

That’s not true. I drive for a living, and I see people cut people off etc all the time without getting honked at. I rarely use my horn myself, although I’m surely not above doing what Miata did, albeit with a normal horn.

Actually, we don’t know the Miata guy is a douche, because that was an appropriate use of the horn. People that run red lights deserve spotty underwear.

How are those lucky underwear looking?

That’s literally not true. I merely commented that the red light runner was worse. I didn’t accuse the OP of anything.

Ah, so now you basically accusing the guy of something you have no proof of.

It’s implied.

Right, he only puts people in danger because he can’t be bothered to pay attention to his driving. Much better than a person with a loud horn. I’m guessing you’re one of those people that view red lights as suggestions.

We’ll just have to agree that you’re wrong on the original issue.

You have to admit the horn didn’t get in an accident. ;)

Well, I guess we should ban sirens and loud horns on emergency vehicles because clearly they don’t save lives.

There’s a big difference between using your horn in a specific situation, and an asshole who just just randomly makes a lot of noise because his penis doesn’t work anymore.

So what? This attitude that being an asshole to an asshole makes you a bad person is ridiculous.

We have plenty of yield signs, the problem is people don’t understand what they are or ignore them. A series of yield signs for the service road at I-270 offramps locally had to be replaced by stop signs because people wouldn’t yield. Now we all have to stop for no reason because of idiots.

From some of the responses, apparently a lot of the commenters think sliding through a red light in front of someone is just fine. Maybe the horn is a little over the top, but sliding through a red light is a lot worse.

Sorry, the dude going through a red light is a worse asshole than a car with a train horn.
