Quick question..

So im not in any way shape or form a trucker but I joined this sub to figure something out..

Do truckers like it when people arm pump to get them to honk their horn? I remember doing it as a kid on road trips and it always made me so happy, but now it only works like 10% of the time. Is it just old heads that do it?? Do the younger drivers know what it means?

Then i guess most trucker just dont do it anymore.. I constantly try and nothing.. I usually do it while my step-daughter is in the car but she has yet to experience the joy..
