YET THIS CRAZY driving a beat up olds with rust on it lays on his horn proceeds to go from the far left lane into the right lane and partly into the bike lane so he can lay on the horn even more. then he "speeds" away laying on the horn more. i put speeds away in quotes as the beat up cars engine could barely handle 30mph.
My most recent honking was equally bizarre, and not even bike related. Two weeks ago I was out for my morning run and was in a residential park area on the sidewalk alongside the street. This strip of sidewalk was right up against the street, and didn't have the normal 6-8 feet buffer area of grass that most of our residential sidewalks have.
As I was running along, a driver coming down the street starts honking and swerves over so when he passes me the car tires are within inches of the curb.
I'm guessing either the driver is morally opposed to fitness or he was just a jackwagon.
