In this intriguing piece from Regular Car Reviews, the team delves into the fascinating evolution of car horns and the cultural shift surrounding their usage. From the early days when honking was considered good manners and a form of echolocation for clueless pedestrians, to the modern era where honking has become synonymous with expressing pent-up frustration and aggression on the road. The historical context provided sheds light on how car horns went from a necessary safety tool to a symbol of our collective impatience and rage behind the wheel.
As the narrative unfolds, the video explores the reasons behind the decline in honking, attributing it to the rise of road rage incidents and the fear of confrontations that may escalate into dangerous situations.

The emphasis on using car horns responsibly for safety purposes underscores the importance of drivers being mindful of when to honk and when to exercise restraint.
