Excuse me, I am not the sort to just smile and grin when someone moron pulls out in front because he is to lazy to look causing me to take evasive action. What do you mean not a problem until I get it myself, what on earth are you on about!

Yea well there have being, how is warning others of a potential collision a bad thing. So by your logic we just hit them while doing our best and not giving them a chance to move out of the way. Its a safety feature of every car pretty much, I'd much rather toot a horn and alert someone to a possible collision than be in hospital for months if not dead. So no idea why you are against a safety feature of a car, has my horn in the work hacks horn is not super loud like some cars on the road are.
So do share how tooting a horn and warning others to apossible collision is a bad thing and make sure they notice your presence.I look forward to your reply.

FFS! now i had to waste my time goggling nimby to find out what it means otherwise it would have eaten at me all day lol! NIMBY - someone who objects to siting something in their own neighborhood but does not object to it being sited elsewhere; an acronym for not in my backyard. . Still don't get how your a 'nimby' john, but at least i learn't a new word today;) My mums a nimby!

Johnf_456 you are not wanting a horn so that you can warn someone of danger, you want a horn so you can "have a go" at the other driver for doing something stupid. This is simply road rage without the physicals. As has been said, chill out.

No, you have it wrong, some people do not seem to notice my presence when they pull out in front so I would like them to have a higher chance of seeing me as part of safety. Whats wrong with reducing the risk, cars have a warning device for a reason, whats your horn for to say good bye to someone up the road!
That is what a horn is for, a warning device to prevent an accident. SO don't tell me what you think its for. As said before I'd much rather prevent a collision than dealing with one because some muppet that cannot give way like you seem to get early in the morning while on sleep mode. Safety grow up, tooting the horn is not road rage no way near it, all it does is say hey I'm here don't hit me.

"So I would like something loud that will surprise them big time and make them look like a fool for doing it in the first place."
Doesnt sound like a warning to me, sounds like anger after the event.

Guess you didn't pick up on the joking around part / having a laugh. Basically said that because the horn in my work hack car is not as loud as other horns of cars on the road hence wanting something to be noticed of my presence.

You want a pair of horns off an early Mk2 Triumph 2000.They sound angry.
"Get out of my way you peasant" sort of horns, definitely not "Bye - see you next weekend mum" type horns.

I had a set of Fiamms installed to replace a dead factory horn. They were pretty good, cheap enough as a replacement. Having an extremely loud horn isn't going to solve any problems you might be having, I wouldn't recommend replacing a factory horn unless its stopped working.

NIMBY also has slightly broader meaning, maybe you need to google a little harder and not be reliant on the first result, as it also applies to those who basically don??

N- not I-in M-my B-back Y-yard Can't really see it meaning anything else,no need to google it again, its pretty obvious it only has 1 meaning sorry.

It is noticeably more quiet than other cars owned by me and others on the road. Its more about making sure you are seen on the road in terms of safety, the amount of muppets that try to drive to work half a sleep is crazy on the route I go to work each morning. They need some waking up, this morning I witness I person driving with there head half out the window trying to wake themselves up while weaving.

Neither, I don't have a problem with others tooting horns as a traffic warning device so I don't know either what he is on about.

I've rung my hook ups john and can get a twin tone air horn for $30.00 But it has been recommended to get a new twin shell horn that gives a nice deep tone as apposed to the higher pitched sound of a air horn and it can be connected via the old horn wiring so no need for a relay. the twin shell horn is also 30 slides

maybe in some cases with some ppl BUT . In all of my cases of narrow squeaks, it's a fast & loud reminder to the imbecile that they didn't do whatever stupid trick without being publicly notified of that act.
During evasive maneuvers, I don't normally have time, never mind remember to toot my "warniing device" but once clear of the twit, I can't see any reason not to publicly ridicule them for their dangorous driving
johnf_456,

Yup sure is, most of the time its not extreme ones so I do have time to toot while braking at the same time since I'm a very responsive alert driver hence having no crashes.

Air horns.they get their attention, as well as everyone elses, so everyone can see how stupid the offending person is.
