    A eyecheck for the lawman and if nothing I'll give the kids a toot. But it's the train horns they seek, not bleating company whistles.

    I don't toot much, But the ones I have tooted to usually brands the one who really screwed up for life. Or the last thing they possibly hear at the big smash.

    It is not against the law to honk a horn and I do for kids and gals that show me something. lol
    I come within an inch of causing a bad accident once right after I started driving truck, with my horn. I am pretty particular now as far as making sure it will not get somebody killed.

    There was a little town In north Texas I used to run through at night. The high school kids partied on a parking lot sometimes, and the girls would run out and pull their tops up when a truck came along, they got the horn. lol

    I don’t care about my surroundings, if a kid wants me to honk I’m honking.

    If I got a ticket for that I’d frame it.

    My truck has an air horn for a reason. That reason if fun.

    No law that I know against it, but depending it can easily cause a wreck if there is traffic there. I honk at ever kid that ask for it if it is safe to do so., hell I will honk at the cop if he ask for it. lol

    I'll give everyone a quick tug if they ask for it. Two weeks ago I had some teenagers asking for it and it was late, no cars except for them, so I gave it a tug and rested on it for a good bit. Everyone in the car exploded, everyone was laughing, ladies were clapping, it was a good time.

    I’ve heard guys say teenagers are too old to honk for.

    I’m with you, they give funnier reactions than kids.

    I’ll never forget the Amish kid I blasted in the back of his wagon telling me to honk and his mom driving the horse had no idea. Scared the piss out of her but the kid loved it.

    Hwy 52 in the decorah area is loaded with Amish people lol.

    Honking at horses can get dangerous in a hurry too. I honked a gal riding on the shoulder once, and she had to rodeo up real quick, lol

    Lol yeah, might not have been the smartest thing I ever did. The horse didn’t even flinch luckily.
