Despite all of our protests about JAM's and cagers, the DOT has discovered that repeated honking really does help you get through slow traffic more quickly.

Here's a link to a news story (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/tired_of_traffic_a_new_dot_report) about the study.

So the next time a driver honks, say "Thanks!"

Don't forget, getting a bigger car, or better yet, a truck with a big engine and revving, tail gating and being hard on the brakes and gas (jerky movements) would signal to other drivers you are in a real hurry and you are willing to run over them if they don't shove over.

I was about to ask if this was for real, then I realized where the link is from. lol
