Author: Cars And Safety- Use The Horn Of Your Car In A Responsible Way
You may have the habit to use the horn of your car frequently. However it is better to honk when there is the need only.
You do not have to honk too often but when the purpose is to warn someone of your approach it is best to do it as soon as possible. Leaving it too long to warn a pedestrian looking the other way or a child on the roadside can potentially be a very dangerous move.
While common sense demands that an approaching car will make a pedestrian want to stay back and let the car pass before he/she crosses the road there can be individuals who might try crossing the rest of the road at a run.
Take particular attention to children. Children may not be able to judge a situation as adults do. A childs motor skills are not developed as that of an adult. Children may try to cross too close to your car making you jam on the brakes or worse still they may change direction and get in the way even if you try to change your lane to accommodate them.
Further more changing your car direction abruptly may disturb other drivers even resulting in an accident to other individuals.
Be careful and always drive slowly around schools when the students are coming out or are waiting for their rides even if the students are over 16. Sometimes they are so engrossed in sharing views on what has happened during the day that they will not be aware of their surroundings as they always should be on the road.
Honk in advance and let them know you are there. Be sure to do it soon enough for them so they do not panic but have the necessary time to get aware of the danger before you get there.
Therefore honk only when necessary. Forewarning anyone crossing the road is always better than honking when it is too late.
