I'm a turn signal party. In my car, I honk at every single person I see not using a turn signal.

... well, I didn't honk when that LEO made a lane change without indicating, but yeah.... :wink:

Way to go! That's a great way to handle the road rage and teach someone a good lesson along the way.

Use your horn! It's an immediate negative reinforcement for the driver of the other vehicle. Kind of like how top dog trainers use a clicker thing to positively reinforce behavior in dogs, you're using a similar technique on these people.

I have the stebel nautilus horn. I try not to use it in situations where I'm boxed in by cages because it makes them act stupid. If I have wiggle room and want people to feel like a semi is barreling down on them, then sure.
