I dare not do this but has anyone ever done something to someone texting and driving?

Alright it didn't happen but it would make a good **** plot.

im gonna get some train horns on my yukon

This is the ONLY reason I'm thinking of doing this as well.

 

[Gzes]

Im gonna go and check out semi horns. Imo they sound better than train horns they got a more manly honk

 

[yates ™]

So in order to right a wrong, texting while driving, you are going to use air horns? Wow that is the ******* dumbest thing I have heard.

Horns are commonly used to alert other drivers. I think honking a horn that is louder than the standard automotive horn to alert a distracted driver is a very practical idea.

I drive for a living and estimate that 60-70% of all drivers I see are doing something on their 'smart' phone while driving. One of them will kill me some day...

I guess so is running people off the road if you do not like the way they drive. Train horns are retarded, I hope all that gets them gets their vehicle impounded.

Completely different. One you are simply bringing their attention back to driving, the other you are intentionally causing them physical harm. Running someone off the road is a criminal act.

I'm not a believer in train horns. I think a lot of people just use them to pull up on folks walking to scare the crap out of them. But, I do also think that a normal horn doesn't cause a break in a distracted driver. Something louder than the norm does. For example, a police siren, fire engine horn, etc, causes a driver to look around and be aware of their surroundings. If that saves a life, then I am game.

Guess you'd need to see the aftermath of what's caused by drivers who text and end up killing or hurting people.

Ya because using a train horn which is much louder is sooooo safe. Call the police station if you feel like sometime is driving unsafe.

 

[THE YETI]

I don't see the issue. Emergency vehicles have loud sirens and horns to divert attention to other drivers' surroundings.

Texting while driving is not a criminal act where I am from, so calling law enforcement to report it, much less how many jurisdictions this person will cross by the time law enforcement catches up IF it was a crime, would be a waste of time.

Train Horns are dumb.

Texting while driving is illegal in.tx but a semi horn would be more efficiant than train horn imo. I think they get their cars impounded jf they are dling it in school zones

Only problem is how is that enforced? I'm sure it has to be on-viewed by the officer, not just "that guy was texting" and they get a ticket.

i think i might hurt someone if they hit me texting

he busted his head open on the windshield and his little toyota was way worse off than mine so i think he learned his lesson

Well i occasionally get them a honk since my yukon already sounds like a train stock. (Same horn moms caddy has) And I live in a college town so its mostly kids doing it and they already cant drive so if they can hear me I will yell at them to get off their damn phone. I also hate people who just step out in a crosswalk without even looking at traffic. Normally they are texting with ipod in their ears. I always make eye contact with the vehicles to let them know im gonna cross. i dont just step out there.

 

[Young28]

i shoot at them. works every time.

I've had a few close calls with those people while i'm on my bike.. handfull of high bounce rubber balls dropped behind me (while i'm infront of them) gets their attention really quickly.

Besides.. i keep trying to do it but my gloves get in the way =0)

 

[noJeepshere]

I yell at them at stoplights if I can, honk and make a folding motion with my phone, the bird, all of the above. I've been sorely tempted to PIT maneuver a few that were being really obnoxious...

Stock horns on some cars really suck.

I am not a fan of train horns, but some models have really bad horns.
