Right on Staffo! And you know, trains have loud horns, big trucks have loud horns... I wonder why (not). Because it's IMPORTANT that they are heard!! Well, it's IMPORTANT that we are heard too!! Ha! I remember about a month ago I alerted a huge dump truck as to my presence. The driver didn't see me and proceeded to cut me off from my right of way. I hit the horn and that big ol' truck promptly and rightfully allowed me passage. We made eye contact and smiled after my bike let her presence known. That felt good!!
