      Wrong. Honking at someone achieves nothing. The horn is there to alert to danger. Misuse of the horn is more annoying than people who make a mistake. Like at 16:52, honking at this person only to have to stop 10m later coz of traffic. What did you achieve?

      @@SahilM18 Honking should be able to advise people that they did something wrong, that there was in fact a danger present that was avoided, and to be alert for it. I say should, because horns are used quite liberally, and people take significant offence when they find out they're not the NASCAR driver they thought they were.

      @@nemarvel you just reminded me of why I can just give myself an ego boost. I was going into the city via the Sydney M5 tunnel some 12 years ago, and I was the first car in the line of traffic to avoid a 6 car pileup that happened at the entry of the tunnel (people's perseptions change when entering and exiting an underground tunnel). All because I decided to give enough space. It was close though. I was stopping to be about emetres from the car in front and the car behind me was too close behind me so I had to complete my stop less than a metre from the car in front.
      What's worse (or better) is that every car in the pileup was a late model vehicle including a merc and a lexus, while my car was a 1991 toyota corolla with 500,000 km that I bought for $1200. It did 50,000 more before I gave it to some refugee.

      You're operating under the flawed assumption that 10km/h over the limit always causes a crash, when there are thousands of people doing 10km/h over the limit every day.
      I'm not saying it's a good idea... Just that the "speed kills" thing is flawed logic.

      1990's in Sydney, Surry Hills area. Police chases were a very common event, occurring every night of the week. Sometime 3 chases on Friday or Saturday night. My parents owned an apartment overlooking large parts of the city. I never used to watch TV, the chases were way more interesting. Awesome to watch.
      So, yes, I think it has way more to do with the large number of cameras and dash cams these days. If anything, the prevalence of chases has decreased.

      Whatever both need to calm down, DC could have shown some courtesy as not that close an incident so no need for the continuous horn and Haval should not have brake checked.

    Born and raised in NZ, lived in Aussie for several years and finally now living in Tokyo Japan. I can totally relate to the anger that people feel in western countries after being involved with these types of total shithead...There is no shortage of similar 'events' here in Japan...probably even more, but one thing that the Japanese do which is really smart and instantly diffuses about 80% of all roadfage incidents before they get stupid is for the offending car to flash their hazard lights a few times after doing something stupid. It's the universal language of cars here and it works! it means "Sorry! I messed up" and it really works!
    I'm sure there are plenty of people in the west who've done something stupid but for want of a way to gesture your apology , they just continue driving like idiots. If we adopted the same standard signal as the Japanese do the number of road rage incidents would decrease by a lot! Of course it only works of the offending party has the humility to make that gesture...If not, it's on like Donkey Kong.
