    I wish I had the presence of mind to be able to use the horn when that happens. I find I'm concentrating so hard before the shit hits the fan, to try and stop it hitting the fan, I don't get around to thinking about the horn to its way to late.
    That and the horn is so quiet probably only I would hear it!
    My 'Parp' 'Parp' thumb is like a coilled spring.

    If they aint looking at me, I always 'Parp' first, ask questions later.
    (BTW: I'm talking about the horn)

    Quite true. Whenever I need an image of a pathetic, whining, narcissist, my thoughts are of you.

    same here. on the ginny, the horn was right next to the start button. the few times i needed it [to wake up dozy drivers at a green light, lol.] i hit the start instead. opps. had to actually look for it. ive only needed it once on the virago, but by the time the guy behind me was on his, i had already stopped and avoided disaster. however, i still went for the horn and must have given the driver who changed her mind from turning left to turning right and nearly hit me a hell of a fright.

    I actually find it funny when people don't see me, because I'm invariably acting as if they don't, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise. So, when they start to move across, I take great delight in waking them up and watching their reaction to the Three Horns of AntiDumbarsedness. It's a bit of a game seeing how close I let them get before the thumb descends on the button. Second to last one was a woman who moved into the T-intersection before stopping and looking right. I parked my front wheel about 20cm from her door before saying with my horn, "HELLLO!!! Here I am! Wake up!"
    The last one was a guy at Spaghetti Junction. I was watching him, and could see him thinking, "Oh - this lane's not moving... that one is, and has a gap..." then he flicked on his indicator, and started to move. I moved over a bit to make sure I had a buffer, then said "LOOK OUT! Here I am!!" less than a metre from his door. He was more than a bit surprised to hear so much noise from an invisible bike. Dumb arse didn't bother to turn his head before turning the steering wheel.

    The trick too is to hold the button down long enough to get other people turning around - increases the embarrassment factor.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    That is the crux of the problem. People seem to think that their mirrors are there to see behind them, and there are 'blind spots'.
    NO! The mirrors are there for bits you can't see with your eyes when moving your head.
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.
