Honk Honk
So I've been thinking, every car really needs to have two different sounding horns. The first would be a softer, very friendly "honk honk". This would be used when you simply want to acknowledge someone, get someones attention in a friendly way, let a biker know there's a car behind them, etc.
The second would be much louder, aggressive, "HOONNKK HOONNKK" or "WWWAAAHHH WWWAAAHHH". This would be when you REALLY need to get someone's attention, like when you've got an 18-wheeler drifting into your lane, or you almost get t-boned by someone running a red light, or when you just need to audibly flip someone the bird.
On a related note, a coworker proposed that cars should not have an unlimited number of honks available - they should have a limited-life battery or something, so people would conserve their honks, instead of being so honk-happy.
I countered that drivers should have to pay-per-honk. When you're out of honks, you'd have to swipe your credit card to buy more. The money could go to the highway fund or something. Just a thought.
