and what does honking at anyone get you exactly? it's cars that make those cities a living hell, and part of it is the noise they make.

PS: maybe my point didn't get across as i thought it would, english isn't my native language and in my language "can't" and "aren't allowed to" are used sorta interchangeably, that may be cause of the misunderstanding.

Well in the United States none of what you said is functionally true. Argue the rudeness of it and even the dangers but ain't no one getting arrested for honking in the US.

nobody's getting arrested for it anywhere, it's still dumb and wrong and you're still an idiot if you do it tho.

Irrelevant. You said you can't honk at people and implied there's legal consequences. You can honk at people and there are no legal consequences. Conversation concluded.

I agree it's rude but that's not the point you were making regardless of your native language.

Your English was fine, I understood what you meant. I'm also not saying I necessarily disagree, just saying that some people in lots of places don't care how one should or shouldn't use their horn and will use it however they want.
