you need to be heard, and our stock horns are weak. I was in an accident once many years ago when a Dually towing a stock car on a flat bed slowly changed lanes into me on the highway right after he left the on-ramp. There was a concrete barrier median on my side and he squished me like a banana, I had no where to go and he was so long I couldn't get behind him. I was leaning on my horn the whole time but I might as well have been blowing on a kazoo in my little Datsun 210, he never heard me and kept coming. My car shot straight up in the air so high that the roof of the stock car he was towing on his flatbed was caved in from my tires on my way back down. The passenger in the truck told me he looked back when he heard the noise, saw the bottom of my car in the air and told the driver, "That guy is dead." Bounced off the roof of stock car on the flat bed, and the concrete median on the way back down, landed right side up facing the wrong way on the highway, never flipped. Walked away without a scratch. Ever since then, I have been sort of paranoid about horns.
