Dave Johns of Slate pipes in on the car horn — history, habits, and hate. I fall in the camp of those who think the horn is nigh useless. Drivers in my experience honk when they could be avoiding a problem. I almost never use it because during close calls my hands are, uh, occupied with the steering wheel.

And according to honking studies, Johns’s “mother is a classic nonhonker: She is female, suburban, patient, and climate-control-oriented.” Ha.
