    Heh, golf courses are just too tempting.

    Kids or someone I know is about to blindly try and merge into me is only when I use mine.

    Or if I see deer hangin' out by the shoulder and no one else is close.

    I blow mine for kids of all ages, but only out on the open road......it feels good to see the little kids faces and the big "Thank You" wave from the older ones.

    I'm still shocked to see little kids in 2012 know the arm pull. I do it all the time.
    I don't care if at a traffic light and the 4 wheeler gives the finger ( does happen )

    heck yea and screw etiquette. when we have about 10-15 company drivers at a local mill its funny

    big kids with big toys, Who going to stop us from having fun?

    Ohwell, that's on the other driver. driver should of been aware of the surroundings.
    If a kid wants the air horn, air horn it is. Other drivers should look around and see the whole picture

    I will on the highway for kids. NEVER next to a school bus! If they had an accident from startling the bus driver it would be the truckers fault.
