You can get whatever horn you like, and here Pyro will back me up, coming down the A406 with Pyro on the back of my bike, some idiot just decides he doesn’t want to be in his lane anymore and slips straight across, no indicators, no looking in mirrors, just moves unexpectedly into my lane…now I am two up, with enough luggage to technically count for 3 up and my brakes are struggling under the weight.

I blast my horn, continuously…nothing. He just keeps moving into my lane.

I have had this happen several times to me in East London, drivers just don’t care, and it isn’t about being on a bike either, had it happen in the car and on the bike.

The horn means nothing. Drivers just continue on with what they are doing.

Personally if I hear a long blasting horn right next to me, car or bike, I tend to stop my maneuver and have a good look around to see if it is me, but some people just think the horn is nothing to do with them.

Worst thing about biking I think is the disadvantage you are at while driving, I have said a couple of times I really want to get bits of spark plugs, the white bits, and keep them in my tank bag, so that when some div cuts me up I can pull one out and shatter one of their windows, then they can hear me as I scream into their car…“you can fcking see me now can’t ya you cnt!”

Maybe i will get around to it one day…

+1 on the a406… i was there lol
