Honk-a-Talk

We see it all the time and it could easily tick us off whenever we encounter rude drivers on the road. Have you seen yourself driving and then someone decides to make a turn just to get ahead of you? Or someone trying to occupy your lane as if they are the only ones on the road, making you hit your break just to give the other person the space that he wanted? Rude right..

What if we ask these rude drivers if they really mean to drive rudely? They might say that they weren't being rude. They'd justify their actions in some way, usually blaming the person in front of them for being a bad driver. Most of the rude drivers are just impatient individuals.

However, giving the benefit of the doubt, there are occassion wherein you just need to hustle and drive your way to your destination the soonest time possible for reasons like emergency, call of nature, etc. And these could be the same people we perceive as rude drivers.

My recommendation is to equipped cars that can honk-a-talk. Meaning the cars through honking can send a message to the other driver. The supposedly rude drivers can use this feature especially if they cut off a lane from another driver.

The honk-a-talk equipment will call positive phrases like,

- Thank you, Have a nice day!
- Sorry, got an emergency
- Sorry, my bad
- Sorry, I'm a new driver

Surely, it is good to feel and receive that message from someone we perceived as rude. 3.5  <or have Led sign at the back that says so
