Hawaii Pics...

I don't know if I could handle the driving in Europe. My mom told me they don't pull over for ambulances, and people just honk as they go through intersections...that would scare the crap outta me if it were true!!

Oh they stop for ambulances in Germany, I can tell you that
And the USA is the only country I know that people don't honk, in South America people honk like mad lol

He with the loudest horn gets the right of way?

LOL Yes, and people drive insanely XD

PAM!! GET IN THE CHAT!! RAWR!!
*rubs his tummy*

If I get in the chat, i will never catch up to Kosmo's posts!!! LOL! Though he is working hard to increase his lead!

Boo no spaming just to increase post count... and DEF no spamming if it's causing people to avoid the chatroom

hahaha I have NEVER honked before!! I just began taking driving lessons this summer (SOOOO expensive, by the way!) and on my 8th lesson, I told my teacher I had never tried honking before. This was our convo while I drove:

Teacher / Me

Turn right on next light. The intersection after this stop sign? Yes.
*Look at mirrors and blind spot + flicks on alert* *changes lane to right lane*
The car on my right HONKS me because he didn't see I wanted to cut him
Oh, goodness, I've never been honked or honked before! Really? Yes!
Don't forget to turn right. Ok. Now turn, go back to the middle lane. And honk.
What?! *disbelief* HONK! WHY?! haha JUST HONK!
nooooooooo, no one did anything wronggggg!!!! hahahahaha *teacher pushes the honk*

my face: :shock: at the realization that my driving lesson teacher just did something very illegal by the books XD

Well i can tell you in holland honking is illegal!! We never honk only if its because someone is doing something dangerous...

The things you guys are talking about happens in spain, portugal and italy. There they drive insane!!!

You guys would so be able to drive in holland, everything is very organised and most of the people drive by the rules....

my dream is to visit hawaii and japan

My mom lived in Spain when she was in high school, so that must have been what she was talking about!

Here in the US --honking is used to tell people they are boneheads, driving dangerously or to curse them out for their actions on the road.

In extreme cases, it can be followed by screaming obscenities out the car window, sticking up your middle finger, chasing the other car that has pissed you off, or throwing something out the window at them!

But you usually only hear about that on the news...not see it firsthand on the streets!


or totally different scenario...honking can be just a way to get someones attention and wave "hello!"
