THE SORRY HORN
By Craig Bailey In General Tech June 28, 2004
Why hasn’t this been invented yet?
 
My wife came up with this idea about 6 years ago, but I am amazed that it is still not mandatory on every car.
 
It’s the sorry horn.

There should be two different horns on cars. A fuck you horn and an I’m sorry horn. That should cover all times a horn should be used.

Gill thinks that cars should have 3 horns on them: an “excuse me” horn, an “I’m sorry” horn, and a “you stupid bastard” horn.

Vehicles should have an “I’m sorry” horn that we can honk when we know we screwed up.

If there was a second car horn that meant “sorry” I would have used it more than a regular horn in my lifetime

Cars should have two horns, one for when someone is an idiot and one to say sorry.
