There are so many other things I'll buy first.  |

Yikes! Talk about loud!!!
Measure twice, cut once? How about eyeball once, cut 4 times? Touch-ups to come later, maybe.

I took my horn off years ago after I found that most drivers ignore that, too. The best defense is a good offense. Stay alert and act quickly when necessary. Always have an escape plan in mind.

So when the guy almost left turned me today I should not of used my horn but come to a complete stop and let him turn? Take the sidewalk in hopes he sees me before he hits me? Cross 2 lanes of traffic to avoid him? And I should do this every time it looks like someones going to turn in front of me? I'm not going to get very far!
Learning to use your brakes: good idea.
Escape plan: very good idea.
Losing/not using your horn: Bad idea. My opinion! |

Glad you liked it! That means that I need to put in on my 'Gotta-Have' list also. |

Got to use it this morning. Lady in a minivan at a 4 way stop didn't see me at all. She was looking right at me, too. HONK! It works! |

To each his own. We all have our own ideas of which safety equipment we need and at what level (helmets,gloves,armour,lights, brakes,etc.).
28 years of riding (20+ to work most everyday), I wouldnt want to be without a horn. Saved my bacon more than once. Thats my experience. |

So since we are on the horn subject. Mine doesn't work it is not the horn. Tested that and it work. Check for bad fuses I didn't see any. What do I check next? |
