I'm keeping my oem horns connected, my set is just for those special effing idiots that need a reminder the world is not their own private road. Case in point and what pushed me over to the dark side.

Pulling up to the parking lot exit of a fast food store lunch getting cold this ignorant bitch pulls ahead of me and stops, ok a car is going by. So It passes and figured she would move, nope still sitting their blocking the exit dicking around her glove compartment and playing with cell phone, so I give a polite little toot and she looks me dead in the eye in her rear view and continues to dick around in her car. That pissed me off so I laid on the weak ***ed oem horn until she finally moved which by the way wasn't asap.

If I ever run across some idiot like that again oh yeah their going to get an ear full of gtfoomw 175dB.

Bonus: I'm also going to T in an air chuck fitting for inflation, small air tool use.

Illegal perhaps but it's certainly not as illegal and dangerous as people that tint their windshields/over tint side view and there are a ton of those right here in this forum alone. With that said if you're paying more attention to your cell phone instead of driving well.........

Seem to be a popular accessory for the type of people that like to ride your *** and flash your lights because they are so important you should yield to them.

So this is what scares the hell out of me when I'm crossing a street.

Yeah - I suspect the fines/penalty for having this are probably as toothless as the no-front-license-plate or tinted window variety.

The karma for being the DB may be greater than the fines for being illegal, however

Yep, to scare the you know what out of someone.
A guy I knew had a 1978 Peterbilt cab over tractor. I remember the year as I had a 1977 at the time.
He got tired of being cut off all the time so he bought some locomotive horns and set them up on his truck.
He wanted to scare the you know what out of the next idiot who cut him off.

It didn't take long in Jersey to find that one, he was taking an exit and a car at the last moment cut right in front of him.
Someones Grandma; she must have forgot she was getting off? Maybe; but she might have done this everyday as that seems to be how everyone drives around here.

Well he gave a big blast and she cut to the right ran over the curbing right down into a field and hit a drainage ditch. Messed her car up good.
He pulled over and saw that she was walking around so he took off. No cell phones back then,
He felt pretty bad about it, he went home and took everything off and sold them to another trucker.

The cops were looking for a green cab over Pete green in color. I know because I had a green one and got pulled over.
They were looking for train horns, I told them I never had any and never will as my regular air horn is loud enough.
They let me go but not before asking if I knew anyone else with a green cab over.
No sir I don't.

You guys better watch out if you blow them on the road, you just may end up killing someone.
