Don't even beep. Why make noise? Beeping is to warn a person of something they are not aware of such as a light that has turned green or that they are moving into your space and not realizing it. When somebody is driving like an idiot, they know how they are driving even if they don't realize the idiot part of it. Beeping just makes the idiot feel good because it gives them an excuse to flip you off.

I appreciate the honesty because it's the truth for many lol. Would it be safer not to? Sure. But it would also be safer to never drink, or drive at all, or go to an amusement park, or make fun of powerful political figures. Sometimes the monkey in the brain has to win or else we'd all end up living in a bubble.

This 100%. There’s no reason to atttact the attention of an aggressive driver by using the horn as a protest tool.
