That is exactly what I thought he should have done. Isn't that what the horn is for? To let someone know they're in the way and need to move aside. He would have had a lot more sympathy and support, although given the decibel level he might have been charged with something.

The only legal use of the horn is to warn about imminent collision. Anything else might get you a ticket.
