So as not to disrupt a tech discussion post, & rudely hijack someones thread I'm gonna post this here. What is everybodys obsession with putting train horns on their trucks? Are they even legal for street use?
I see threads of were guys are laughing about scaring the hell out of other drivers or people with these horns. I mean how rude & inconsiderate are some people? These horn are loud enough that they could cause an accident to an unsuspecting driver.
Plus I have seen the prices of some of the kits! Why pay that much for a freaking horn?
I know one thing for sure if I ever run across anybody blowing one of those horns at me at a stop light, I would sure get out of my vehicle & stomp a mud hole in the drivers ***, especially if I was on my bike.
OK, putting on my flame suit for the firestorm that will likely be heading my way.

2 reasons for you.
#1 - Why the X not?
#2 - Because I can.
Hope this helps!

Funny how the driver waited to blow the horn until the people were out of the way and the vehicle a bit past them. Probably figured he can drive away quickly just in case they turned on him and beat his azz or truck.

You would be suprised how many people park on top of railroad tracks around here. There are a lot of intersections similar to this one.
If I happen to be waiting in the same intersection, I go ahead and honk my horns. It's just another one of those justifiable honks while on the road. If they are dumb enough to park on a rail road track, they deserved to get scared.
