I NEED YOU TO HONK!

There's a plague in our city of people running the red, it happens all the time. We've gotta start using our horns, holding them the whole time someone is in the intersection that shouldn't be. Not a polite toot, hold that damn thing down, it won't hurt the horn. This isn't a retribution, but a danger warning.

Today I saw a large tip truck run 3 consecutive red lights, on the second it was for a crossing where school kids were waiting and it was just luck that everyone was watching.

I'm not saying we should police people's behaviour, I'll leave that to the people who have the job. I'm not an angel that is cursing every minor infringement, running around with a dashcam and notepad trying to tattletale. I'm saying that we should let vulnerable road users know. So that next time a kid is crossing, someone on a bike, in a bike lane is going or an older person on a mobility scooter is trying, they have a shot at not getting hit.

ALSO! The amber light actually means "stop if possible" not "I can make it!" So ya, if someone is entering the intersection with their foot screwed to the floor when the amber has been lit for a while, that's when you start.

HONK GODDAMNIT! Maybe it'll save someone's life.
