I think of them as self defense that is certainly well within the scope of the definition of measured and reasonable force. It some dumb shi!~ tries to intimidate me by aiming his vehicle toward me then I send a little blast of air aimed in his direction it is in my view more then a reasonable and justtified response. I mean there are people who would aim their vehicle back at him or open fire. What's a little blast of air between civilized people?  |

....the real question becomes how many db?......takes at least 150-160 to get their attention-without nose bleeding or brain hemmoraging......I think [??] I read that in NewEngland Journel of Medicine some years ago.....but I was working at Christ Hospital at the time so I really don't know what I was doing from day to day.......geofkaye

150db is how they are rated. I don't know how they rate or test them at the factory, however; I have a fried who is employed by the county and he works in enviromental monitoring. One time I asked if he could measure the sound level and he had me drive over to where they were doing clandestine observations with a serious sound meter and give some blasts. When they looked at the chart or whatever it shows up on, the sound they were monitoring which was a moto cross race track was pretty loud and right where I blasted the horns there was a spike that completely drowned out the moto cross racers. Measure in at 160db. As he explained it to me that level for sustained periods of time is a bad thing. I've tried it on guys in cars with boom boxes that make their fenders rattle and you feel the sound in your guts a block away, they can hear my horns.

Usually it dents out as their head hits it as they jump in their seat trying to get out of the way of the train they didn't see coming. ROFL Who said anything about a polite blast? If they've done something that warrrants a blast it's because they've done something that rules out polite. Whether and error of comission or omission, if it's threatened me or my vehicle the gloves are off. If they have just done something stupid without real potential for harm, like sitting through a green light I usually count to 10 and maybe give em a short toot on the regular horn. The head splitters are reserved for more severe infractions.
