    I was once cussing at a stop and go driver, only for the driver to get out and point at her throat. She was choking on her toast. We got it cleared and she was okay.

    Assholes seem to be more common than medical emergencies though.

        How is saving someone’s life being an “asshole”?

            Swearing at someone in your car isn’t being an asshole, it’s just venting. It’s not like they could hear it. If they were leaning out the window, then maybe. I’d say them doing the whole “saving their life” bit would make up for it either way.

    My Favorite human phenomena is that most drivers will use the horn when their safety could have been secured by applying the brakes

      Yeh it’s meant to be hazard warning. I try to make sure I use it for that purpose instead of an anger indicator. You should brake or do whatever maneuvers are necessary to avoid an accident as priority before thinking about the horn. That said it is useful to do in many of the same situations where the brakes ought also be applied. This is because you simultaneously want to avoid danger caused by the other driver through your braking while also getting them to realise that they’re causing danger and stop it. Hopefully both of those things will happen.

    50% chance it’s just an asshole

    50% chance they didn’t see you were putting air and wanted your car out of the way, thinking you were the asshole.
