Do You Beep Your Horn to Say Goodbye?

Been thinking about this recently.

You've said goodbyes to your friends, get in your car and start driving off. As you pull away you give a few toots.

I'm easily startled and gets me every time, also illegal

What do you reckon?

    Not usually, only when I leave my mum's place else she thinks I'm leaving unhappy / angry.

      Next time storm out, wave a fist out the window and beep furiously as you leave in a squeal of steamed tyre compound. Then she'll know not beeping means you're happy/calm.

      Your vocabulary , yes !

    Only do it if it's late and in a very quiet neighbourhood.

  • I wave goodbye. I don't even care if they can't see me waving at night, imma still do it.

  • Depends on the situation and person.

    Not usually, but occasionally for older family
    or
    to startle/ be a smart ass to friends (but the latter is done in a truck, not a car).

    Heaps of stuff is illegal in a vehicle and many, if not all of us do said things from time to time.

    Eg: eating, drinking, arm out the window, leaving window down when parked, leaving your car unlocked… all illegal activities (in some states).

    Cops have got bigger fish to fry than a horn getting honked.

      which of these annoy or affect other people, are illegal and inconsiderate all at once?

      • which of these annoy or affect other people, are illegal and inconsiderate all at once?

        Eating and or drinking while driving.

        People can’t steer straight at the best of times.
        Thanks for playing.
        😂

        The point of my statement above, its a commonly ignored law. Not saying its good or bad.

          Thread is about noise issues
          People inside their homes can hear you eating & drinking?

          Thanks for letting us know you belong in shit suburbs 😂

            And the op stated:

            also illegal(drive.com.au)

            Cheers for this though.

            I wasn’t aware that the bar for being a good citizen and where we should live was directly related to how a person may or may not use their horn.

            Now i know.

            FWIW its also nice to know what area you come from: https://maps.app.goo.gl/c7BiuApnzCqx64nn8?g_st=ic

  • No, but it doesn’t bother me if people do as it’s not early morning or late night.

  • Hehe when I was part time student I had a casual position in a book warehouse.

    Used to start early and finish early.
    When I departed of an afternoon I would give a couple of blips of horn as I passed the roller door to warehouse- until the one day that the horn got stuck 🤣

  • Meh. Theres other battles to fight.

    Damn, I can’t click both options. It’s both. It is unnecessary and not needed, but unfortunately, people are going to do it, so you need to get over it. Added to that, it’s usually a “toot toot” and not an outright honking session.

    I personally don’t do it, because I have probably just stood there for 5 mins saying my goodbyes and that last toot as I drive off is pointless.

    The only time I toot is if I am driving past my mates place and he is out the front, just so he looks up so I can flip him off.

  • if only cars had a second horn that was sort of polite/friendly.

    an angry horn and a friendly horn.

    i think the world would be a better place.

  • this and cars side by side so they can talk(shouts) while driving

  • or cars that arrive at the front of house and toots the horn to let them know that they have arrived.

      Lol, what a great standard to judge our society by.

      Noise pollution and effect on health is well documented.

        I love how so many people here get butt hurt by a bloody horn. It's amazing.

        • Go pee and have a think about this one.

  • I beep my horn when I get aroused.
    which is often.
