Why would you need to know exactly which vehicle was honking? Are you guys really that oblivious to your surroundings that you can't tell when you've cut someone off? Or is it that you have such little consideration for the rest of us that you just do whatever you want and throw a middle-finger to the wind?
It's these very reasons I'd LOVE to have a train-horn on my car, to hopefully give someone a heart-attack for being a danger to everyone around them - or at the very least make them swerve off the road and crash.
Mike you're missing my point sir. What I'm getting at(and not very well it seems) is that most people tend to look for things that match. Therefore a BIG and Loud car horn causes people to look for a car...not a 350# motorcycle. Hence my statement that people will look past(or through) a bike in trying to see the car that's honking. They may actually run over the bike while looking for the honking car. This I know from practical experience....30 years of professional driving...where I've seen about everything you can imagine.
As for your questions/comments on our cutting people off and lack of consideration......No,I don't practice that driving style, but I'm on the receiving end darn near every time I climb in the truck cab or throw a leg over the scoot!
With your desire to "make them swerve off the road and crash" could you possibly be a menace to the rest of us that share the road with you??? Sounds a lot like the behaviour you condem in others sir.
