Try to stay faced and stay in my car and not make it worse

Just wave and sign with peace brotha

TY Zebra.. !!!

I don't drive - vision issues - lucky me - lol!

swear at them under my breathe bloody idiots

Wave and say thank you. They are obviously in a hurry, who am I to delay them?

That never happens with me because I always move off instantly. People forget that the horn's main purpose is to prevent accidents. The most logical reaction is to simply drive. Edited 23-Apr-24 14:19pm

I move off, the same way that I expect someone to move off if I have honked at them

If my kids are in the car I just carry on as normal if not I’m swearing and taking my time

I would just carry on moving forward

I stay calm and do not react but inside I am swearing

If Im distracted I do nothing cause I wasnt paying attention BUT if they are just being a jerk I will sit there till it turns red again. I may have my mail forwarded there.

Turn 👆 the Tunes

just wait & listen to radio

Ignore them. They are just impatient and may even have started to move forward if they know they sequence of the lights. It's not worth your energy to respond - maybe that's what they expect. Trouble is there may be a genuine problem. A guy waved Mum over quite a few years ago and he was pointing at one tyre. Initially she made her door was locked and opened the window just a fraction so she could hear him. He had noticed that one of the tyres was "ballooning" out one side. Mum thanked him, waited for him to leave and got out of the car to have a look. Lucky she was in front of a shop because this was prior to mobile phones and several public phones in the area had been vandalized.

I really dont know the real reason of getting upset, they can't hear you

Depends on the situation if I’m not paying attention at that moment it’s fine

Their problem is that you're fidgeting in the car you know looking at your mobile when you're not supposed or talking to your passengers oblivious that the fact that the lights have gone green or the right turn arrow has gone green or thetre taking off so slowly that the lights go yellow befire you even a chance to go thru the intersection or without stereotyping ofcourse the person who has pulled up to the intersection is so far back from the line that the right turn arrow doesn't activate..... until someone honks...or should they get out if the car and ask the person to move a little forward??? Or that same person is veering into my lane and I honk so as to avoid an accident. The horn is there for a reason. It's not to intimidate but to sound a warning of an possible impending issue be it a car accident or causing an issue when turning right delaying traffic and causing a possible traffic jamacross the intersection which could cause an accident with incoming traffic. Most honkers don't do it because they feel they have the right to do so they do it because they want to help you drive carefully and safely my fine feathered friend!!!!!Edited 22-Apr-24 21:32pm

i would stop the engine get out and then lift the hood Edited 22-Apr-24 21:08pm

look in the rearview mirror and then proceed to drive forward

I wait patiently but do get a bit annoyed when someone is obviously not looking at the lights BUT I would never beep the horn.

their problem not mine.

No-one blows their horn behind me at traffic lights because when it turns green I GO. It against the law to blow your horn in NSW unless it's an emergency. The one that annoys me is the twits that blow their horn at roundabouts because they think you should give way to the right.

Ignore them

Not impressed. Ignore them or honk back.

Annoyed because car need to start up to go or am blink on that time

It staples me to where I jump

shrinking with shame..i am that person :(((

some times it does get frustrating, but the lights don't have ears, and the car ahead of you might have a problem or is seeing something in front of them that you can't see.so please take it easy loosing your temper it won't help, besides you can get fined for beeping your horn

Honk back!

As a pedestrian walking through every day in a very busy, tricky intersection I hear many times horns - frightening! Especially if a car doesn’t stop at red...which happens pretty frequently! You see the lights are changing very slowly to prevent accidents...

Have never came a crossed this probably lucky I guess

I ignore it. People are so impatient these days. I don't speed. My motto is " Better late than dead! "

My words for today is IGNORE THEM

Rude bloody person!

Only if you are a goose...

I’ve never had it happen to me here in the Greater Brisbane area. But if it did, I reckon they would be justified - it would probably be more than a split second - and I would just move on. No need to antagonise them any further.

Just one of the minor problems with drivers here in Melbourne, Australia. Idiot drivers all over doing dumb things. Tailgating and speeding are pretty bad. Speeding in school zones is common too. It wasn't like this 25 years ago.

Honking is my last resort, for the morons who change lanes to get ahead, then seem to doze off when the lights change, and you have been waiting for them to tear off, which they don't. They get the horn after 20 seconds, or someone behind me will be honking !

I just ignore them, they are complete morons and obviously just like showing everyone how unintelligent they are.

I ignore them but then again if I'm at the front I'm also long gone as I used to drive in Europe where when the light changes to green the car 25 back starts moving.

Little wonder, that road rage is such an issue these days! With honking and other behaviours, why don't people allow themselves more time to get from Point A to Point B?

I have seen the movie ‘Unhinged’ with Russell Crowe be careful who you toot at

I simply wave to them like they are someone I know.

SOMETIMES NECCESSARY, IF THE DRIVER IN FRONT IS IN A DAZE.

Staying in Enmore in Sydney recently I had forgotten how everyone beep their horns aggressively in normal traffic in Sydney..the drivers in Brisbane have plenty of faults..plenty...but they don't beep their horns...at Traffic lights sometimes I am amazed at their patience..and yes it can shock an elderly or nervous driver into making a mistake....its not on....lets give everyone a chance! Edited 22-Apr-24 16:15pm

I honk back at them sometimes we play musical horns if they have to drive behind me for a bit lol 🤣

I'm grateful, as it means I wasn't paying attention and would be slowing down other cars

I really dislike when people do this. There is nothing wrong with entering an intersection after a quick look to make sure no one is running a red light or a kid running across in front of you etc. I don’t toot the horn unless it is really needed and the other reason aside from patience is road rage - there are many angry drivers on the roads.

I feel sad for the impatient person.

I will honk the horn once only if they are on the mobile or unaware. I am ok if they honk once also to make me aware. Though sometimes they do not give you time to put your car in gear to go. That then shows he/she is impatientEdited 22-Apr-24 15:48pm

dangerous, as it might confuse or make the driver nervous, making them feel rushed into driving off and if someone runs a red light and you put in harm's way.

I ignore them Chris.It is annoying but I will not let them spoil my day.I know that they are ignorant bullies & hope they get a flat tyre

I slow right down and go 20 km or less! 🤣Edited 22-Apr-24 14:56pm

I try to ignore them or yell at them in my head. I then just drive on like I would normally do.

Mutter but only to myself, ha ha

Makes me take my time

I don't take any notice. So often someone is turning in front of you running their red light and the person behind cannot see that until it's too late. So I just drive carefully and normally as is my wont.

Just drive on slowly and take your time

Wave

Dont care every body is impatient

I have a good look around then drive off slowly and carefully…….lol

just ignore it

I don't react. It is their problem they are impatient, not mine.

just ignore it and concentrate on driving

Why honk at a traffic light, it`s not going to change any quicker, people need to be more patient.

It's annoying and totally unnecessary

I get pissed off

I just ignore them ..... and glad I don't live with someone like that.

I usually give them a friendly wave out the window!! Makes me feel good and hope they have a sense of humour

Keep calm and carry on.

I set Grommie on them... no I don't I open my driver's door briefly, and I don't get another honk.

Depends sometimes I just go slow and piss them off more or I just hold them up a little more before driving off

As Im on the road all day it annoys me, people are so impatient. you hear and see people who run a red lights and collect the cars who are taking off on the green. I just wait a second or or two for my safety. I wave and say thanks and while swearing under my breath

Give them a dirty glance in the mirror and carry on

Just move on as normal and ignore them if they drive past me.

Ignore and carry on normally.

Sit for a second…make them wait!

Sometimes I just make them wait longer

I just wait another second or two before I move on.

So rude, come on people....

Give'em the finger.

It is illegal to use the horn unless it is a emergency

They get the finger, lol

What's the point it won't change anything. People are so impatient.

I often put my car i park, slowly go back to the noisy driver, and ask them what they want to talk to me about. Then I slowly walk back to my car, get in, and wait for the light to turn red and allow the hot-head to boil over.

Just ignore them

I dont drive

Nothing needed from me

Go slower

It doesn't matter to me, it's he/she who has road rage , not me.Edited 22-Apr-24 10:44am

No special reaction; it's when it's later that matters.

Honking is ok but not bonking!!!

this practice which is really annoying is prevalent in Adelaide SA the worst and most ignorant drivers in the world against the law

I am pissed! What difference does a few seconds make? That few seconds could have prevented them from being in an accident. No one will ever know! They need to worry about more important things in life and not stress of such crap!

Go slower

Laugh at them because, no matter how fast they go, they usually end up at a red light! I just pull up next to them and smile, thinking about how much emotion and gasoline they wasted to get nowhere faster! LOL! ;-D

slow up

Wow, they are impatient or have a baby coming out of a mom in the car. Either way, it's not going to make a hill of beans difference, so keep the honking for truly warranted situations. 1/2 second makes no difference. What you lose at that light, you gain at the next. Lol. Idiots. And that moment you lose at that light might just keep you out of an accident up ahead. Think about it. Problem is, nobody does. Well, that's actually not true. Unreasonable honkers are in the minority. Most are waiting their TURN. NO PUN INTENDED.😆Edited 23-Apr-24 18:59pm

Depends on how much coffee I've had
