How do YOU drive?
Several times recently I have been driving somewhere with a friend, or family member, and been in an “almost” accident where someone almost backed up into my car. My instinctive reaction was to swerve safely out of the way. Both times my rider scolded me, saying “you should have just honked your horn” My reaction and reply was “I was too busy avoiding getting hit to blow the horn.” I really don’t feel that I can safely honk AND swerve at the same time, I am too busy using both hands to steer! (I don’t have an issue with honking AFTER I’ve avoided the accident.)
I feel that it is better to use both hands to safely maneuver away from the other car thereby avoiding getting into an accident than to simply honk the horn. I’d be curious to hear from anybody out there that might be reading this what YOU would do; honk or swerve?
