Can someone explain to me the need for automobile horns today?

I was on the way to the office this morning and for some reason noticed the use of car horns in today’s world.

The original need for horns is still pretty vague to me, except to get someone’s attention as i drove by in my ‘horseless carriage’. Still think you could have just yelled at the person so they could see how cool you were in your new vehicle.

i found out early, that sitting in front of your date’s house and using the horn to call them out wasn’t very smart. That continued to married life.

i really can’t think of a time that i needed my horn, except for some aggressive action. The dumb-ass in front of you doing their Facebook, sending emails, reading emails and then accelerating just in time for me to miss the light!

I’ve noted over the years that there are two kinds of honks; the little ‘toot – toot’ to get someone’s attention and the ‘HOOOOOOOONK!!!!!!!!’, which is significantly more of an aggressive act.

You know it when you hear it.

While I’m not an expert on the matter, my observation of the issue suggests to me that a great deal of road-rage incidents might be solved by taking the horns out of cars.
