why use the horn at all in the video in the OP and criticize his lack of usage? revving his engine certainly didnt help him get spotted either.

either way, i took the time to slow down well in advance and never put myself in a dangerous situation and I think it at least notified the driver to look twice next time. I was already on the horn a good time before he was fully into my lane. he/she just didn't stop.

I dont believe horn usage should only be used until the last minute. Using the horn preemptively is defensive driving/riding imo. I would've done the exact same thing in my car.
