Dear fellow Bellevue residents:
When to honk:
2. When you're my good friend, and you want to catch my attention so we can
wave at each other. (Hi Kathy!)

Claire, I love you more than my pick-up truck, but people getting
their friend's attention with their car horn is a pet peeve of mine.
I can't tell you how many times I have been driving along and a driver
in a car close to me blew his horn to hail a friend. I immediately
start looking around trying to determine what I am being warned about.

I just took a look at the Florida driver's manual and it suggests that
you tap on the horn when passing another vehicle. I remember that
being a common practice when I was a kid in the country back in
Kentucky, but the only place I see it anymore is in rural South
Georgia near where I live.

Claire, did you ever consider the possibility that the person blowing
the horn may think you are a hottie and he is trying to pick you up?
