Been getting stuck behind these tortugas driving 10-15 mph below the speed limit. I’m all for careful driving but this seems excessive.
I started beeping them if I could not pass and they usually get mad. Wtf. You aren’t the king of the road free to cruise at whatever velocity you desire.

I dont honk at anybody because I have had people on the wrong side of the road coming at me and I honked and they followed me home acting nuts crazy honking flashing lights swerving around tailgating me. Happened 2 times. People damn near killed me and I honked to get their attention so they didnt hit me and they went nuts. If you honk in florida best be prepared for a shootout. People are nuts here

The only time I honk is when someone just sits at the stoplight, after it's turned green (usually, they're texting or digging around the car, not paying attention to the light). It's a quick honk, just to get their attention.
Also, if someone cuts me off requiring me to brake hard, I'll lay on the horn.
I don't think I've ever honked at someone for driving too slow. I just wait until I can safely pass. I'm usually not in that big of a rush.

I only honk when someone is about to/looks like they're about to hit me or sleeping at a green light. If someone is driving slow I just wait to pass them, preferably legally.
People seem to get super prideful and butthurt when they're blatantly doing something wrong on the road. Annoys the chit out of me but I try not to engage in a pissing match with them.

Quick flash of lights, they either speed up or they go slower. Either way, they're either going fast enough now, or they're even easier to overtake, so win/win for me.
Only once had somebody follow me (actually started waving a lump hammer at me and my mates!), and no ****ing way were they going to catch me on my local roads in my tuned classic Mini. That thing stuck in a way their **** mobile wouldn't round corners.A.L.L. Leukemia 2009-2012

the few times i wanted to honk at someone its an oldcell and i feel bad for them, my mom is a paranoid so wouldn't want ppl honking at her if she was driving slow is what i think...also some of these old ppl i feel like if you honk at them they will slow down even more to try and figure out whats going on, why is someone honking
happens a lot close to my house, i will pass them in the oncoming lane if there's no cars around

No, because it never helps anyway. If I truly get stuck behind them and they're holding up the show for everyone else, I just make a point of getting far enough over to the right so people can see I'm not the one being a fkn assshole holding up the show.
Worst experience I ever had was this old bitch doing 35mph (average) on a 55mph 2 lane highway. A highway where there is so much traffic that it is virtually impossible to pass someone on the bastard. Making matters worse, it was twice as flooded with traffic as normal because a more popular 4 lane highway nearby that lead to (some of) the same big destinations was shut down. Followed the moronic bitch like that for like 30 minutes and she damn near made me late to work, I had to sprint through the work parking lot even though I should have had a solir 15 minutes or so to fuk around in my car first if she had just driven the damn speed limit. I might have honked at her a couple times...

yup people like you are what makes driving in trafic hell.
so you are a slow driver, you build up a column of cars behind you a mile long, and because the one guy directly behind you gets impatient you brake check him and the 20+ innocent cars behind him, starting a traffic wave that will last 2-3 hours after you are gone.

The only time honking is acceptable is if the person you are honking at is sitting at a green light stopped while playing on their phone or is distracted in some other way. I'll leave the honking to overly aggressive angry drivers

only if they are in the left-lane on the highway as it's illegal to hold up traffic in the left-lane where I live. It isn't a driving lane, it's a passing only lane. State Troopers here actually crack down a ton on this... i'd say more often than people going 5-10 over. They have it on message boards, signs, etc.

I usually drive the speed limit so I rarely encounter a driver that slows me down. When I do, I just overtake them in the left lane.
I also don't get pissed off when someone does something stupid. I'll just think to myself "what a moron" and laugh, then move my mind to other things.
Besides, a honk is a slippery slope that can either get you into legal trouble or put in the hospital/morgue.
I'll only honk once a light turns green green and some phaggot is not paying attention.Asteroid 2021

Only if they are in the left lane. Driving the Long Island expressway daily you learn how to drive or get run over.
Idc if you want to go slow. Don’t be in the left lane not passing anyone clogging up traffic, or I will be 2 inches from your bumper.
As I stated I’m only a dick If you are holding up the passing lane.New York
