    Because some of us have more consideration for other drivers. Blasting the horn usually is to get the attention of another driver or individual. A blast of our horns will distract the bus driver and others on the road, whereby increasing the possibility of an accident. Why would you want to put other peoples lives at risk for the joy of a horn blast ?

    As others have pointed out, it depends on what's going on at the time . . . if there is a lot of traffic, etc . . . not gonna do it.

    Actually, yes they do. My hubby has had a lot of kids give him the signal . . . he has been able to do so many times, but there have been other times when he has not been able to.

    When I pass a school bus full of kids I don't even look at them because I don't want to see them asking me to blow my air horn... depending on the traffic, the time and the circumstances at that moment it may not be the right thing to do. Some folks, including adults ask me to blow my horn but I don't always do it.
