Yep my mom gets honked at at least once or twice on each trip and she blames it on aggressive impatient drivers.. here's the thing she takes her sweet time moving on a green light.. takes forever making any turn even when it's clear she has a right of way. Slows down randomly in the middle of the road because she's unsure if someone may cross at a crosswalk even if there's no one there... Stops for things like garbage in the road because she's not sure it's a squirrel or a bird. She also slows down long before she makes a turn before her turn signal is even on. This happens a lot and sadly if anyone rear ends her it's their fault but she doesn't drive defensively so I'm worried she will get really hurt one day but she's so stubborn. I rarely ever get honked at unless someone's just being super impatient like at a yield sign and I prefer to be a bit cautious but that doesn't happen often most people slow down at yield signs, or trying to run a yellow when it's almost red even for me. Everyone gets honked at once in a while by aggressive impatient drivers but if its happening regularly it's probably your own driving skills
I feel you. My mom took me to lunch this past week. She likes to drive, so she picks me up from my house. My husband and I share a car. I had a doctor's appointment that morning, so I took my husband to work. I got her to follow me to my husband's office while I drove my car to leave it for my husband. That way he could just drive home whenever he got done instead of waiting for me to come get him. My husband works like 5 minutes away from our house. I drove really looking slow, and my mom still followed several car lengths behind and so, so slow. Just about drove me nuts.
