My husband won't use the horn either. Once at the TG mailboxes, he saw a guy backing a Caddy recklessly right toward where we were parked. He said Brace yourself, but I said Honk the @#$%^& horn!! My car has been hit three times in two years by idiot drivers. he did honk the horn, and the guy slammed on the brakes. he had obviously never seen us parked across from him. Now my husband will use the horn if he thinks we are about to die... but only if.

And you are right, things like what you experienced happen very quickly. There are a lot of woulda-shouldas.
