Need to vent... NY Drivers...

Everyday I go to work, using the same route, and even run into the same people occasionally. It drives me crazy that people-- even the same people, don't have the courtesy to yield, or follow the laws of the road.

I'm learning to ride a motorcycle, and I don't think I'm ever going to take this one route because of these idiots... heck I don't feel safe in my truck, and it's scarier on a bike.

Why do people feel it's necessary to pass people on a double yellow?! Let alone cut them off... I even had a close call today with an idiot in a car that decided to cut me off on a wet bridge and almost side swiped me.

Are y'all that in a hurry to get to the fire?!

Can you run that horn on a separate switch from your normal horn? So it's only that loud when you want it to be? Or am I just being ignorant and that's how it's always done? lol

No, you can wire it anyway you want to. Some people wire a separate button for it. I wired it through my stock horn relay with a 3 way toggle switch. This way I can switch between stock horn and WTF was that!

Sweet. That way you can really send the message when you want to. I'm sure it would be annoying to hear that loud honk every time you locked your doors

Ehh, I don't let them get to me. I usually leave early enough to get where I'm going and have a nice easy, peaceful, music filled ride.
