Would you honk your car in this situation?

You are trying to make a left turn. The light is green for turning left but red for going forward. The red car in front of you is hogging up a lot of space. I have seen this happen lots of time but never seen anyone honking.

Because you can just past on the left, red with green arrow so no cars coming, takes like 2 secs, honking is too much work

if there was a center curb I'd honk, if not I'd just drive around assuming there is no oncomming traffic. if the lineup was longer I'd still just drive around.

probably lightly tap it so they are aware of you, not lean on it though /shakes head
primary use of it IS to warn other drivers

the other option would be passing on the right, and then going between the red and blue car into the turning lane

of if you had a truck, give them a bump.

I forgot to mention a center curb island thing preventing you from going to the left lane. 8-bits of fun!

You guys would seriously honk? I have never ever seen anyone honking at this situation before and I seen this situation happening at least once a week. Sometimes I am the lame gray car, sometimes not.

Why bother honking?

Are you really in that much of a rush? It'll be 30 secs before the light turns yellow/red and you can make your turn then.

Seriously, what is up with all these assholes who can't wait 30 secs and need to go there ASAP. If you're late, you're late. You should've left the house 5 mins earlier to accommodate travel time.

I wouldn't honk I'd just go around them on the left. If theres a median I drive half way on it to get around them, truck FTW.

Though it may be annoying, I don't think there's anything illegal here. Just wait for them to move. Worst case scenerio is you wait 2 minutes for the next green?

then why would the city engineers build that lane there? what is the point of the advance turning green? yes people should be more considerate and move up a bit, they don't own the road.

i'd pass on the passing lane to get around first, if that didn't work id give a courtesy honk. it has nothing to do with being in a rush or late its the principle. and besides, there are days where people are late and its out of their control. we have enough frustration and road rage as it is, why be one to contribute to it because "its his problem he should have left earlier", that is a real simple minded reason.

Yes I'd give my honk a tap, I shouldn't even have to honk if everyone was aware of their surroundings. Unless you're an ass and you're purposely blocking me...

Actually, just to clarify, I'd only honk if he has enough room to let me through after he moves up.

honking at them and making them look back might actually teach them to pay more attention in the future. although likely it'll do nothing to help as most people are too stupid.

maybe next time they stop at an intersection they'll have a semi behind them going 80km/h. and when they notice and move, they'll thank me for the lesson of looking back!
