I dunno about you, but I've honked my horn at people when they were getting dangerously close to my car, and the only reaction I received was that they got even closer. Like they couldn't hear the horn or something. It is a rather underpowered horn, and if the person is in their Hummer (or other vehicle), windows up, talking on the phone or playing the radio loudly, chances are they won't hear it either. Unfortunately.

You're probably right. I haven't had to do that with the Yaris yet thankfully.

But I've certainly had to do it more than once on the Harley ... it's true that people do tend to look right through motorcycles.

I did have a lady rear end my Wrangler once. Luckily, most of the damage was to the hitch mounted bike rack and her car. But ever since I've always payed closer attention to approaching vehicles.
