All he did was honk his horn at a car that wasn’t moving getting onto the highway. I guess the guy followed him and it got physical. He’s okay and the guy was arrested but do not honk your horn or engage with other people on the road for real.

    Never honking unless there is a clear and present danger to someone’s life or someone is gonna hit something is probably the best way to live your life without dying. So many people in cars are one negative interaction away from being willing to kill someone in amerikkka

    I’m sure this does not apply to all countries even remotely, people probably honk all the time in other places without people going berserk, a unique Yankee carbrain sickness.

    You need to be profoundly alienated to be in a state of mind where you’re willing to lose it all over going from point A to B.

      I’ve said this before, but especially in the South, Americans only have one honk. The honk they use for when someone in front of them is on their phone and didn’t see the green is the same one as when someone is about to hit them. I grew up in the Northeast, and their is a whole honking language of different honks for different scenarios.
