Why? I'm talking about a light tap when I'm well back . What's wrong with letting a biker or group of know you are back there? I know I've been distracted by oncoming traffic and was startled by a car suddenly passing me.
Car horns shouldn't be used as "Get outa the way I'm in a hurry", But I thought they were really to let people who may not see you, know you are there. Like someone backing up in a parking lot. Someone changing lanes. Biker ahead that may not know you are passing.
No?
