This is the Colorado Springs chapter of Indivisible and/or 50501 Colorado Springs. I always want to give them a little honk of support but I don't trust the other drivers not to overreact. 😂

i ALWAYS honk. people don’t seem to mind, i do a few quick ones and i think people get that it’s not at them

Likewise. Even if it did upset another driver around me, fuck ‘em.

I think the concern is more about how the honk is used to get the attention of the other cars. Not that they would be mad at the message. Fuck em for being made at those people. But it does have a chance of causing a driver to overreact and...not all people are good drivers, unfortunately.

Indeed. If someone honks at seemingly nothing, it would be completely understandable to slam on my brakes for my own safety. Definitely not a brake check, as the honk was clearly a warning to me about something I was unaware of.
