Very classic and very typical encounter.
I wonder what HH would think/do in such a situation. Probably ignore the motorist and the honk... which of course leaves the motorist still thinking in the "wrong" way.
Also I love your real world encounters, over the "training video" in the other thread...

I wonder how Dan et. al. would handle this sort of "typical encounter." I doubt a "training video" of something like this will ever be posted.
