No the driver was already along side me when I laid on the airzound. At that point they weren't any more dangerous by accelerating as they would have been by slowing. I suppose they could have swerved but that's rare.
Since there's limited space with which to change lanes and turn right (the lane ends at a T without any stop sign) I'd say it's safer to have them go forward or move backwards.
Having talked with a few people about getting honked at, I believe that cars provide bicycles more respect when they have the ability to honk at them. It's like suddenly you become a real vehicle.

i suspect there's a fair bit of ill-will directed at people that use airzounds, both on the road and on the MUP.
