    I yell and swear too but didn't think it could be heard, as I, am a lady.
    I usually combo it up with the close quarters I hate you stare in the driver side window, tho I've discovered the horn on my new bike is really loud so I might change from yell/stare to honk/stare

    On my next bike, I'm seriously considering a locomotive air-horn.

    They are loud where-ever you live
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Nice one year sometimes it is best just to leave it.

    I normally mutter under my breath give them a look (oooooww year THE look) and they normally know what they have done wrong but some just ignore it.
    Hand signals can be good too.

    But year as sometimes you just have to drop it like the above situation

    If I actually ever need the horn, I can never find it. I'm usually too busy thinking about steering or braking or not chrashing to use it. I tend to think that if you had time to find and sue the horn, you could have stopped / avoided it quite easily anyway...

    The shouting works well when your stationary after someone has tried to have you off, especially with ear plugs in. didn't think I would be that loud in a helmet, but a few reactions on drivers faces have told me they definetly heard it....they might have even learned a few new phrases...

    Horn first, then voice for when you pull up alongside them..........

    i think i'm wanting some air horns, that would a make big diffrents or very noises exhaust pipes. you must have a very good crash helmet when mutting under your breath.if i'm at risk i use to get queit upset and sometimes lose it .

    Redneck fun at its finest , i think you'd struggle to get the compressor on a bike though.

    Crap. This thread really makes me think....

    Can those poor bastards I'm going past hear me singing? If so, I'm truly sorry - even if they are cagers....
    Me and my imaginary friend have been goin' round the bend for some time now....

    Likewise - and my head wobbling around like I was an Indian carpet-seller probably gives the game away too when I'm singing.

    My most used childish-abuse-for-offending-drivers is to scream out at them "where the ferking hell did you get your ferkin' licence- in a lucky-dip"???

    And most just reply "No" in a lame manner!
